200 mph, 300 mph, 500 mph ?? Doesn't really make any difference when you consider the earth is spinning at over 1000 mph and we are revolving around the sun at nearly 67,000 miles per hour and the whole solar system is moving through the milky way at 558,000 mph.........

BTW, the other one was a 4 speed that ran a 12.1 by Car Life magazine. On 1969 tires.
Not the case that car was highly modified.
