Well done SIX-5 
That is one fast C2 you have
I have no doubt that after you have done some fine tuning you will exceed 200 mph
Keep us posted on the progress
The only thing i can think of that can stop you from hitting the 200 mph mark this year is the fact that winter and snow will be here soon

Amazing!
Hello Six-5,
Just today I saw the u-tube video of your 196mph mile run leading me to the forum seeking additional details about your build. What you've accomplished is simply remarkable. Deep congratulations are in order!
By the way, there may be a chance that we're "brothers from another mother" LOL I have a home cooked Brandywine 65 roadster that I just spent 2 years going through a similar process. The goal was to build a C2 true street car, naturally aspirated, stock hood, fenders, bumpers, interior etc that was capable of running 10 seconds in the 1/4 mile without NOS. It's won some car shows and done well at the track. Final tune yielded 700hp at the crank. But more importantly I drive it regularly - and hard. Here's a link with some pictures and a run.

We're all looking forward to seeing you crack the 200mph mark! There is no doubt in my mind that you will. Be safe and keep the shiny side up.
Tony

Tony beautiful car and love the color. Amazing performance. You should start a new tread with this youtube of the 10 second run. It will not be seen by many people here who just follow the 200 MPH car. Everyone should see your run and the build.

I have been watching this thread for a while. Many doubts occure.
All the photos show mostly nothing relavent to the story. Like some low budget cable show.
...
There is no way a couple of pieces of sheet metal under the car are going to over come the hugh amount of air coming over the car and rolling under it.

Nice engineering job SIX-5.

It's all in Finnish, but you can pick up the relevant info (bikes are on the left and cars on the right column.
Congrats to my (proud to say) good friend for an astonishing achievement!

Congratulations Kimmo.
I just assumed that it was a matter of time before you broke the 200 MPH barrier with your 65.
