I guess the safety issue has been discussed, however I look forward to at least a couple folks ending up in the Darwin report in your quest for speed.

I'm always impressed at how people can get a 4000/6000 lb truck to run 120mph on a 250 hp engine. Not to mention that these trucks have the aerodynamics of a brick...

I kinda ran some figures through my speed/horsepower caculator...and not to disagree with anyone, but in theory, it would take just about 400 rear wheel horsepower to do that.
BTW, it would take about 809 horsepower to run a quarter mile with that trap speed.

Yes, I know what your speedometer says...

Your problem is that you don't have a supercharger. That fixes EVERYTHING!!!

And a really loud exhaust helps.
