I'd much rather rely on common sense than faith any day.

atleast someone is with me on this...

I'll be watching the obits for both of your failures.......erm...I mean successes!

Dose this mean we are going to be short 2 more members?

Getting the HP in a zed to do it really isn't hard at all. What is hard is the aerodynamics to keep it on the road. Just slapping and air dam on the front at a wing on the back doesn't consitute the required aerodynamics either. At those speeds it's a fine line between having the required downforce to keep the car stable and having a slippery enough drag coefficient. Without knowing there was some serious development and testing behind the aero package I sure as hell wouldn't be piloting any car to that speed.

Ok, here is a recipe to help you fulfill your dream. Better finish school first though. You're gonna need a lucrative career and an understanding woman to make it happen.

why a Z? The aerodynamics will never work. You may make it to 200mph if you don't go airborn at 180mph. Cheaper and smarter would be a C5 Corvette. Factory it goes 175 with 350hp. Bumping that up to 700hp is $10k maybe a little more and that would get you really close. You can get a C5 for about $25000. So $35K to $40k and I think 200mph is attainable but why try in a Z.

A place to try it . DEATH VALLeY CALIFORIA . The name is right

I said "Twit" earlier, with apologies to the feathered variety.

I should have said DODO.

Whatever you do, do it BEFORE you have a family to support.

i've done 125 MPH in my zed (200 KPH) at the track and that was fast enough that i had to put a spoiler on to keep the front from weaving from side to side across the road.

Aero on a zed is good but you'd need it super low, light, and a big donk, but not impossible.
