That was the JUN car.
I have the video on my computer at home. I think the official speed was 196.+ MPH.
It was 600 HP stock 3.9 gears and not much else done to it.
The biggest issue with a Suby doing 200 MPH is
the fact the gearing in the trannys isnt meant for it. The RA gears are meant to keep the revs up and not top speed. So spend a bit on custom gearing and 600 HP and Im sure you can squeeze that extra bit out of it.

Damn!600hp..... and for custom gears Im sure all youd need then is a quaife transaxle with 3.90 gears.Right? Id go as far as to cover the whole underside in 1/4 inch ply and put some upforce on the spoiler and see if I cant get some altitude as well
