As I understand, way more people have climbed Mt. Everest than have joined the 200 MPH Club.
So in other words, good luck - you'll need it.
Go fast, be safe, and have fun!

Going 200 is actually easy.... with enough HP even a brick (roadster) can easily be forced to 200.. Setting a record is another story.
Be safe out there, stop by and say hi.

I run an 87 Firebird with 2liter motor making right about 300hp and it has gone 170. Rough calculation says 480 will push it 200. As has been said, record is another matter.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, Jerry -- sounds like the subject line of the Viagra spam I get.
