In short, yes. In fact, I'm pretty sure that in my previous post I stated that with your $200K-ish budget, 200mph is no problem.

Additional RPM, boost, horsepower, etc. is not the problem during the 1 or 1.5 mile straightaway, it's heat dissipation. Oh, and you'll also need one hell of a 12 point roll cage or there's not a track in the world that'll approve your vehicle for those kinds of speeds...

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
