The 130 mph trap speed should have been the first indication of Jan's tongue-
in-cheek post. Maybe if it was actually a 4 second car which he shut down at
the 200 foot mark....
BTW, the fastest "street cars" are now in the high sixes at better than
200mph. Of course, in this context "street car" means a Pro-Modified with a
couple of items normally not found on a race car (lights, horn etc.) which are
licensed in states like North Carolina which are very lenient about their
vehicle codes. The quickest Imports are last generation RX7s with live rear
axles, NOS and HUGE turbos running in the 8's.
