These numbers are pretty accurate, Ive tested them with other cars pacing me and gps.

Here's allngn_c5 doing 190mph in 5th gear. He's got suspension work done, etc.

Hows that for proving my claim? And BTW my car makes 600+ on spray and I have a T-56 with 3.42 gears so theoretically I can do around 250mph with enough power, so no I do not run out of gear and yes my car is capable of 200mph. **** all of you for your blatant ignorance and stupidity, Im out on that note. Peace.

Once you get to that 168 mph plateau, you will have to work on the “Aerodynamics and Chassis” to creep up on the 200+ mph you demand. Air Dams, belly pans, rear wings that are Adjustable, Make a note here, Adjustable, but lockable. and major chassis modifications are required to create a stable racecar that is capable of reaching that seemingly unattainable 200+ mph. A High-Speed Chassis consultant (i.e. “ME” or one of several others should be contacted to avoid unneeded expenses.
Unless your sled's pic is old and/or you've got a bunch of unlisted mods, you FAIL miserably (again).
Did you even READ the article? Having mommy read it to you doesn't count...

The pic is old and he said 475hp should do it with aero mods, so 600ish can probably push through the air with just lowering. Btw I never said it was safe or 100% do-able, I have been 190ish a few times and it is very scary.
This is a fun thread

Designs as well as Technology inprove with time..not talking about it being old to where it's won't go, it's the fact that it's outdated ideas and it would need alot of work compared to the new stuff.
Yes you have the power to achive that in theory, but in real life situation, it's not happenin..

Jake and I have seen a Reg Cab slicks Cummings run 10's. Oh, and it's Red so that makes it faster too. Another Cummings (4) door 4 x 4 with Nitrous bottle in the box runs low 12's high 11's.
Our experience is many Chevrolet GMC smokers can run low 14's high 13's and also get 20 mpg. Smokers don't suck, only people!!

Also again, you're using that "ish" thing when discussing speed. What is 190-ish? If you went 183 than say that but quit with the exaggerations.
None of us believes you can do 200-ish (whatever that really is) and since you can't prove it we're done. On a side note, we're glad you don't try because as much as I don't like you based on your forum responses I don't want to see you grease yourself trying to prove the un-proveable.
Lastly, since you want kills I'll provide them:
I just got home from a trip to California (3600 miles total). Among other things I had my transmission upgraded to handle the power my truck makes. On the way home several vehicles tried me out including a few gassers. Although I didn't get to run any f-bodies a few GM products as well as Ford and Dodge diesels got surprised by my stock-looking Duramax on at-speed duels. The kills included:
Dodge Cummins (modded)
Ford 6.0 Powerstroke (modded)
Ford Twin-Turbo Diesel (can't mod these yet)
Chrysler 300C (not SRT-8)
Cobalt SS
Silverado Gasser

Last time I checked..mine kinda looks like a wedge from the side..not a large flat area..
I could be mistaken though..that's just how I see it..I only look at it every day..

damn, you guys argue like a bunch of 7th grade girls lol.
I drive a diesel, its a ford f250 cc 4x4. Cant remember how i found this site, or why for that matter but i get bored and come over to read now and then. I have 1 legit F-body kill. Not sure of the year, but it was a 6spd ram air with at least exhaust. I was cruising home from a dyno tuning session in my truck with my gf, brother and his gf when an F bod comes flying up and slams on his brakes. It was dark out, i think he noticed my gauges on the pillar and wanted an "easy" kill. Little did he know that he ran into a very nasty diesel. It had just got done putting down 600 rwhp and flat lined the dyno out at 1200 tq (on diesel only, no drugs). Anyway he started jacking with me reving his engine and what no so i goosed the throttle a couple times to let him know im game. We went from a 70 mph roll, he jumped 2-3 car lengths immediately..... then the turbo lit and it was on like donkey kong. I made the distance up quickly, put a few lengths on him and shut it down @ 120 or so. Apparently he was quite upset because he started jacking with me again. We ended up going 2 more times with the same results as the first race. After the last race he jumped across the median and headed back in the other direction.

Even the milder economy tunes would have a 6.0 turning in mid 15s.My F250 CC shortbox is 7980lbs. Intercooler chiller is about done, next up is SCT Livewire, after that thinkin h2o/meth.....
