    That's just mind boggling. Don't you have to worry about body parts flying off and windshields caving in etc. at those speeds? For example it looked like he had a stock hood release. stuff like that.

    Yep, and especially TIRES, even Z rated ones are only good up to 200 I think. They have special tires made for the Bugatti and other 200+ mph cars cause of the pressures they're under at those speeds.

    Did anyone see the car? Are there pix? Is that for a parachute maybe to help slow it down after? Maybe??

    I thought so as well, but I highly doubt that the driver would have pulled the chutes and then drive a mile back to the pits with it dragging on the ground?

    I have asked that question to my Poopra friend who originally posted the video.

    I was thinking maybe a wind deflector to help slow the car down?

    It is possible that they converted the sunroof to a deflector?

    I have asked the question and am waiting for a response.

    SW has always had top notch cars.....I am a former Supra owner and was on those forums for years....the Supra in modded form can be made a world beater for about 50k......no joke.....

    www.t04r.com

    a lot of these cars are stock bottom end up to about 625 rwhp, as you can see in the modifications listed.....all from a 3.0L inline 6.....
