Is 200mph possible?

Nissan didnt design and test the car to go 40mph over its limiter though, so who knows how it will feel at those speeds. Myself and Bambam on these forums are both doing a rally (www.akarally.com) this year, one of the stops (for our use) are the salt flats! Im not saying Im gonna go 200mph, but Im removing my limiter (see vid in my sig to see how hard I pull to 160mph) and will have more power by then, so depending on how the salt flat feels to me, I'll go big or go home.....in a body bag. And of course I'll have video of this, and GPS in car to verify the speed as the salt flat people are crazy strict with rules regarding trying these things, and most of us wont have roll cages, so we can go out and try at our own risk (unofficially to the salt flat sanctioning body), verified by ourselves

Keep us posted Alberto, will be very interested to see how you go. Good luck.
if you're serious about 200, then you should be serious about:
FULL multipoint rollcage (not the pos cusco or off the shelf kirks. i mean real custom welded to the frame with multi-x braces, dual side impact beams, hans, 6 point safety, and FIA cert'd racing seats.. minimum...
not the mention looking at aero to help you out..
probably want a 'low-drag' wing like the SARD GT Fuji, directly connected to the frame thru the hatch.. yes you can make it up to 200+ with wings n things. just need to know where and how to use it properly.

if anything build cut off your rear bumper and seal it off to reduce drag as much as possible and build a diffuser.
wow. good luck. pict/vido would be cool!!

built motor, TT kit, lots of boost (at least 700 RWHP) & a 3.3 final drive. a 667 rwhp Z in a not so recent issue of Modified mag claimed 180 mph with stock gearing so, all that power with a 3.3 or 3.1 would go 200...but more importantly GOGO ROLL CAGE...
