What is the HP we would need in our C5's in order to get to 200 mph? Provided everything else is in place.

I'm sure that I am lacking some HP, but besides that I am gear limited and aero-dynamically lacking as well being I own a Z06 , and not a coupe which is more aero-dynamic. Also probably tires that are good for 200+ MPH.

I would probably also like to know that I had a nice roll cage installed too.

Yes, if I were to try and get up to that speed I would most definetely want a roll cage!!

I wouldn't want to go that fast, just to many things can go wrong at that speed.

The Z06 is aero-dynamically lacking?

I have had my Z06 up to 160 mph and it still wanted to go. No roll cage, but a good idea. One day I will see just how fast it will go. My life insurance is paid up.

Compared to the Coupes, yes it is, the coupes are more aero-dynamic then the dropped off back window that the Z06's have. there for the stock top speed of a C5 Z06 can be less then the top speed of a C5 Coupe, but the C5 Z06 will probably get to hits top speed quicker then the Coupe does mind you :burnout:

I have had mine to 160, run a 190 MPH drag car, didnt feel uncomfortable, but the cage is a real good idea, at least a roll bar....
