That's based on building a car to support such a task with all the bits needed,
My worry would be whats the car going to do at 225mph+I have done 210mph and its deff moving around a touch to much lol.

We only need 212/214 & that's possible in 1.5 miles with 900bhp. You are the only one to explore past 202mph & at that speed I felt in control at least until I put the brakes on then it moved like hell . It does worry me that beyond 202 it will require a better pilot than myself. Frank Sinatra made several come backs you know .
