well i was actually thinking on the salt flats.

I dont think you guys realize a streetable car that goes fast is not that much diffrent im thinking on realibility. Aero dynamics and suspension im sure but as far as motors and transmission blowing ot pieces there are many cars driving everyday wiht more horsepower then i need.

I mean yes it may have 550-650 HP but that is done with alot of motors in our mustangs even and beign kept streetable by forced indcution stock cam and all.(Althoguhi nreality iw oudl probalyl have to cahgne a few htings on cam to make everything beinhg right with gears and RPM's

I was readin gover at turbo mustangs and they are putting out over 600 RWHP on teh stock cam and is fulyl stretable.

THis is on a 302 nonetheless

Also if i decided to go wiht the fiero paltform i woudl be usign a bigger motor and it woudl be that much easier. Which i probayl will end up doing as I dont exspecialyl want a freaking 1000 HP car just so i can do 200 MPH a few times in life.

Im not sayin gim some average beer gutted 42 year old race fan trying ot be jeff gordon. Before i even attempted **** i woudl have one hell fo alot fo safety things and consult prefessionals jsut to see if im gona fly off.

As for 200 MPH on the street probalyl never will happen maybe on a race track who knows but its not as unrealistic as you guys may think i mean considering maybe 30K in a project and be able to basically hang with the 1/4 million dollar supercars is not all that bad.

Is it really that unrealistic?
