Unless it ran an overdrive tnis may be more an example of Joel's abilty to promote his product rather than make fast cars.
15" wheels on a Vette with 3.36 gears at 6500rpm is around 150mph. With 3.55s doing 160mph its gonna be turning a lot of revs for a lot of time, not just a momentary blip thru the gears.
And Pantera thanks for the reality check, 200mph was something a Greenwood wide body running a mag cross ram used to do. Not a street bodied car with a 4 or 3 barrell carb.
