Cheapest way to 200mph

>>16761528
Why? You'd most likely run out of road on any public stretch of asphalt well before you'll hit 200.

>>16761544
Just a thought-experiment. Anyone going over 100mph on a public road seems like an idiot to me.

The cheapest way is to buy a car that can already do 200 mph

>>16761528
I thought top speed had more to do with the transmission and gearing

>>16761555
I sort of doubt that. Just a quick Google search shows 200mph cars as high end mercs, audi's, vettes, or vipers.

Those cars go for $40k+ used (except the vette). Maybe get a C5 with high mileage for $20k, but even then, I don't think it'll reach that speed stock.

>>16761584
True, but even if your gearing will get you to 200, it doesn't mean you have enough power to get there.

>>16761553
In that case then >>16761555 makes the most sense. It's probably gonna be the cheapest in terms of money AND time.

I know we're a car enthusiast board but let's be honest, the time and money spent building a car to go 200 MPH will probably die after the first pull.

If anything, buy a car with longer/more gearing (like the 7 speed the corvette has), and a car that is capable of a very high top speed. The newest corvette comes to mind, then slap twin turbos on it, some sticky ass tires, and call it a day.

Here's an sl55 AMG for $30k.

Those supposedly hit 200.

$1 craigslist junker. Doesn't even need to move

Find a really big cliff

Roll off it

You have now hit 200mph for $1

>>16761528
Yamaha R1 or any other liter bike will get you close for about 8k give or take.

Says 160 here, but 170 here : https://boards.4chan.org/o/thread/16761322#bottom

Well? What it is drumpfkin?

>>16761528
e60 m5 in auto are like 18k i think, manual 22-30k

Probably a fiero, $3000 with an NSX tranny swap, $6000, and a junkyard L's TT swap, $1000. Change rear tires to get to the correct diameter and reach 200.

>>16761690
These pukes keep posting shit from out of state and its annoying as hell.

Its bad enough i live in ny.

Dont imply i want to drive to ohio to try and get something cool

You can get a W211 E55 AMG for ~10-15k
Mod it for 3k and gain another 150hp reliably

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVsetfAYaxg
Here's 208
You might be able to do it with something cheaper, but I mean this is sort of designed for it. Ideally just mod it to reach that speed quicker.

My old 2003 mustang GT did 160 with room to go. Throw a turbo on it and make sure it has gears for it. ~$10k.

There are turbo LS shitboxes running 7-8 second passes in the 1/4, imagine they could do 200 pretty easily. A lot of them are sub-$5k builds.

>>16761584
As you approach 200mph it gets exponentially harder. There's a guy making something like 900HP in his Integra purpose-built for top speed and he could barely touch 200.

>>16761528
A lot of modern 400+hp cars from the last decade or so can reach those speeds by simply deactivating the limiter. Although you probably wouldn't want to do it without suspension mods and the right tire choice and probably a brake package as well. After that, all you'd need would be a long enough stretch of pavement without traffic or cops.

Cars like the Pontiac GTO and certain AMG Mercedes have enough power to get to 200mph or at least very close to it.

>>16761769
That's what happens when you mod a car not built for top speed.

Honestly the cheapest way to 200 mph is to mod an already built purpose built car.

>>16761785

Lol no

Less than 10 grand

>>16761798
The truck would rip it self apart at 200 if it could even manage to make it to 150 in one piece....

>>16761790
Assuming we're talking about a modern one, sure. Just push it off a tall cliff and grab your radar gun.

>>16761722
"Fastest I've ever gone". Not what others with their cars have gone. Also, 160mph in a 4 cyl. turbo is very different from 170mph in a turbo-charged V8.

Are you really this bored that you call me out on syntax?

>sticky tyres
I think you mean tyres with a high heat rating, literally the only thing that matters at 200mph

>Buy shell of an old NASCAR for 5-7k.
>Spend 15-20k on egregious V8 drivetrain

>>16761748
And a body kit.

V12 BWM 8-series

>>16761528
200mph would be impressive 30 years ago. nowadays every faggot with 120k can hit it.
with modern technology going 300mph in ice powered car would gain you a lot of fame. that is, if you care

>>16761824
You were in that car therefore you went 170....

Don't flip flop you slimy fuck. I bet you do this every day. What a shitty personality.

>>16761528
What car is this?

>mfw all the pathetic responses in this thread

EZ Mode: 1999 Hayabusa. 194mph straight from the factory. ECU flash (free) plus a smaller rear sprocket ($5)

grand total: $7005

https://newyork.craigslist.org/lgi/mcy/6019903016.html

i dare someone to try and find a cheaper route to 200

E60 M5 with some small mods will do that easy

>>16761528
C5z06 with a turbo downhill. Usually run out of room but 200 can be reached

>>16764003
an airplane ticket

>>16761901
and how exactly do you plan on obtaining a used NASCAR shell then

>>16763979

Looks like a Mazda2...

>>16764228
Mazdaspeed 3

>>16764003
The OP said car, way to be a cocky cunt and fail.

>>16761528
Rx7 shell -5k
LS1 swap -12k
Supercharger 5k
22k all in, even hitting 600bhp with the right gearing and aero it will easily hit 200.

>>16761697
wrong, it will top out at terminal velocity ~120mph

>>16761528
2003 e55 amg, 10k
nitrous and limiter removed 2k

>>16764217

Some of them aren't cheap, but 200MPH would be fucking cake with an unrestricted Daytona/Talladega car.

>>16761528
Probably an E39 M5

>>16761717
This.

Take the limiter off and you'll be able to break 200mph.

Buy a ticket for a commercial airline.

>>16761592

There's more to going 200mph than just power. You have to have aerodynamics to stay stable and not die at those speeds. Cramming a big engine into a shitbox designed for 100mph just isn't going to work without a fuckload of fabrication.

Corvettes will easily reach 200mph stock or with light mods like a pulley swap. Your going to need at least $30k for that.

The cheapest way would be buying a used dragster.

>>16761798
I wouldn´t drive it faster than 150mph, and I already don´t care about surviving.
Even a roadster like a Audi TT feels different at that speed.
>>16761528
How about LS-swapping a cappochino?
You would only need a verry long transmission/final drive ratio and maybe some aeromods for less air resistance and a bit downforce to corner at 200mph since every slight bit of curve gets realy tight at that speed.

Bmw 840i?

The M60 will reliably hold 600 hp+ on a stock bottom end, and the stock gearing should be ideal.

>>16761528

Foxbody + Chinese turbos.

>>16765399
Is the Foxbody platform even capable of driving at this speed?
Im mean it has a solid rear axle and shitty suspension wich makes it extremely shitty in corners.
And at 200mph everything is a corner...

>>16763354
Yeah HE'S the one with the shitty personality

>>16761790
Yup that gto had a 350 small block. The LT1 or LS1 I don't remember

>>16761748
Why would you waste an NSX transmission on a Fiero?

>>16764203
>>16764280

any older meme benz or bmw will easily come close with the electronic limiter removed. $20k tops. next question kid

>>16766532

It's an Accord transmission. Honda's lazy engineering makes it easy to find a replacement.
