What is the fastest a stock or modified gt will go? Is it possible to hit 200 mph with the right final drive ratio?

Well your gonna need an obxious amount of hp, a perfectly setup car and a functional wing to keep the thing planted. One question, Why in god's name do you need to do 200 mph? You can possiblely do that on any open road. You'll kill youself man.

Yes, but the final drive ratio doesnt really matter provided it is dropped out of the right plane. [sm=gears.gif]

It's just a matter of power vs. drag. You could make anything go 200 mph, if you had enough hp. It might not be safe, but it could be do-able.

I like going fast as much as the next guy but at some point come on. Why even have that kind of goal, as mentioned above the record is 203 but I'm sure it could be broken if anyone with some money really wanted to.

A stock 99-04 GT will do right around 140mph with stock gears it takes awhile but it is possible.
