you've got to do alot of aerodynamic work to hit 200mph...underneath the car... 5th gear loses to much torque multiplication to be usefull, thats why they dont use overdrives in NASCAR etc... you'd need to build a pan to cover most of the chassis UNDER the car... thats where the most resistance is.. someone did that a few years ago..hit 201MPH... with the pan done... in 4th gear.. still not safe in the street at that speed... all it takes is a nail...even Z-rated tires are up to 170 I think.,..
