I don't know the correct air-drag-coefficient (0,37?) x cross-sectional area (the right word for German "Stirnfläche"?) but I estimate, you need at least 500HP at the crank, if not more, to reach "real" 200 MPH. You can compare with other high-speed cars...Nevertheless the SRT-6 is a great car and very fast

air-drag-coefficient, Yeah, Some one had posted quite a while back that the Crossfire had the air-o -dynamic's of a brick
. There have been post about the speedometer being off, but the post were about the speedometer being about 2 to 3 mph slower than they were actually going.
BYW, sorry for hijacking your thread Brian
