Cartech years ago made a 5.0 run 203 i am going to go through my mags tonight i know i still have that one
Nascar mandates what tranies you can use.max and min gears and number of gears.
sports bikes actually have more drag than some cars espectially cross sectional.

And gearing will make up for horsepower. ever seen a turn bridge ? or water mill ?

At boniville alot of the cars are push started because they cannot get going with there gearing not enough power to turn the gears from a stand still . also in the 200 mph mustang i think they werent aloud to use n2o for some reason cant remember but they wanted it done on motor only.

bad examples as the F355 is rev limited

one mag did a roush preped mystic that ran 150 + stock body only minor engine work.

Also look up the salt flat records . go carts aren't aloud.
As for tires some top speed bodies have rules that make tech at the drags seam simple.
race tires for anything averaging over 150 mph.
will find the mag and stock body (no pans )records and post them .
