[quote=""Monochrome""]210mph with 200-250 more HP than my Stealth (BTW it was a 2G Stealth if that makes any difference).

All these years I assumed the limiting factor was drag but maybe it was just the low top end of the TD04 powered motor keeping it at bay.[/quote]

Yeah the power curve of TD04s arent great for top speed runs.

Unlikely. It is still a 3/S and would most likely implode. Or explode. Either would be quite possible.

Nah a billet 3.5L stroker with DR1200s will last plenty long enough to get a top speed run. That's what was in Matt M's drag car, and he made multiple 8 and 9 second passes with it. It's like a $15-$20k setup though, and won't be as reliable as say a LS1/2/3 Vette that could do the same thing...

I mean, like I said, it may take me a long time, I may only do 190-195, but I will go at some point.

I would say my current set up, tuned correctly, would get me close.

Don't need to bench race. I'd bet my entire portfolio this one will do it. With ease. I'm sure you've seen it.

He’s on a 6 speed though right? Never liked the 6 speed. Hardly ever use 6th, too much to change, and reverse sucks to get in to on the 2 I’ve driven.
