A guy here on the forum was making just over 800rwhp and when the Mile had that big tailwind a few years ago he did 201 I believe (i know it was over 200). He came back with more power (50 or so rw) the following event and without the tailwind could not get back into the 200s.

Not going to try it till May... didnt realize it would sell out so quick, and the car wasnt ready anyway. It will either be 19x.xx or 20x.xx

Was that with the z51 transmission ratios ? if so, a big disadvantage compared to the zr1 transmission ratios above 150mph
