![]() THere's a guy running around the country doing roadraces who has hit a recorded 188 in a supercharged 97 Cobra that has a fairly stock block. Don't remember the name but the car does this a lot. He spins the thing to about 8,000 on occasion ( he claims) but I don't how high it revs at 188 mph in 5th gear. That's really close to that magical "two-oh-oh" but the drag on the car increases exponentially as the speed increases so he's probably farther from 200 than you might think.
