Somebody posted a long time ago that a C6 Manual trans needed 500RWHP to reach 200MPH. Don't know how much more would be needed for your widebody GS and the A6.
Looks like Forced Induction is the way to get 200 from a GS A6.

Be aware that at 200 mph, you are going faster than many airplanes, and aerodynamics can be your great friend or deadly enemy.
I'd try to find some people who have been into the double century range with the GS body, see what suspension settings they used and any other aero mods.

The car has been in the 170's. it handled beautifully. But you could tell it didn't have much more in it. I'm sure given enough room it would have gotten into the 180's. thanks for the info. I'll be looking into F/I in the near future.

Just be able to do it in a reasonable distance. Just a bucket list item basically.
I dont want to have to have a 5 mile run to get there. Any idea on if I do the standard 6-10 psi which should put me in 550-599 hp range, how long would it take to hit 200?
