Streetlegal 300 MPH Z06 ?
LPE TTC6Z vette with 1300 RWHP @ 23 lbs boost may be the car to do it. The car has already done the standing mile in 25 sec / 226 MPH on street tires and 21 lbs boost.

I just saw a card on this car yesterday. It runs something like 1200 HP with the twin turbos. It's possible but improbable. It would be nice to take to Bonneville and see for sure though.

Whether the car can do it or not, it is not street legal because it does not have factory catalysts.

So do your calculations ... an tell us what it would take to hit 300 with the Z's aeros ?
I say with over 1500 power ... the Z has a fair chance to set sail to the liftoff mark.
Dragcars/funnycars hit 330 or so in 1/4 with 2000 plus power.

Listen ... during tuning they hit 1518 HP and 1400 lbs TQ @ 28 lbs boost on smaller turbos than the car currently runs.

Bubble bubble toil and trouble, Katech's here to stir some trouble...
Ok, my Halloween spirit is kinda weak.
You'll likely need around 2000HP to achieve that speed.
Thats if the panels dont rip out first. then your cd increases, more panels will fly, then you may fly because your car's aerodynamic stability is gone, and you'll see bright lights followed by darkness

A Gale Banks car went 290 something with a twin turbo big block in a firebird i believe. It had way in excess of 2000hp I think. I'll see if I can find the details.
It was a porpose built Boneville car.
By the way that LPE vette mentioned above is at the Michelin booth at SEMA right now. Except for the bulge in the hood you wouldn't know it was anything special beyond a Z06.

These cars aren't set up for top end performance, just explosive power delivery over a very short period of time.
That said, these HP numbers aren't exactly miraculous.
There are micro engines out there running on nitromethane that put out 2.5HP. (.21ci. no mechanics, extremely simple 2 stroke, I'm cheating )
Thats like the LS7 putting out 3000HP ( 2 vs 4 stroke).
Street legality is a big strain on the HP numbers

From Lingenfelter:
http://www.lingenfelter.com/Lingenfe...06ZO6TTBGB.htm
0-200 mph in 18.34 seconds on 93 octane pump gas. Standing mile in 25.12 seconds at 226.25.
1,100 HP rear wheel on 93 octane
1,300 HP rear wheel on race gas 23 psi boost
Based on horsepower and drag of the vehicle. calculated top speed of roughly 300 MPH!

Well, I can draw from personal experience here. I got my Katech Z over 200 mph on a flat concrete hwy in the Mojave desert (whitnessed) with a slight cross wind. I would guess less that 6 knotts.
The car became very stable, with the exception of a slight wander (I believe it was the verticle diamond cuts in the road surface that caused it) I had total control. I WISHED I would have glanced at the tach to see where my rpms where, but at 200+, things go by you very fast. The car had more to give. Not really sure how much more, but I believe 215 to 220 mph would have been a very real possiblility.
