200MPH Lexus IS
The thing how much track did it take the Porsche to get to 200mph. The thing is to do it in 1 mile. The Saleen S7 makes over 700whp and it went 205MPH so to make an IS or ISF go 200mph it's going to take well over that. The Hennessey Viper went 210 at 1300 WHP
It's going to take a lot of power to make it happen.

I stated it the IS-F hits 170 governed. I do believe Blitz or Toms sells a chip to take it off....
As for the GT2 the new one is the first factory 911 to hit 200mph....200mph is no damn joke..You will need a test track and not a flat one, a flat one won't help you, you need a banked track like in Nascar...
This 680hp GT2 modded did 221mph

You will need basically a flat underbody as well...
A diffuser takes the airflow from under the car and channels it out into the low pressure area behind the car. The shape and design of the diffuser will determine how much (if any) downforce is produced. A full flat underbody will work the best with a diffuser, like the picture of the Enzo in the first post.
On a car without a flat underbody, the bottom of the body panels and rear bumper is usually lower than the bottom of the actual chassis of the car. A diffuser will help keep the airflow smoother when flowing into the area behind the car.
I made a quick drawing.
You can see without a dffuser, air can get trapped under the rear bumper, which causes a lot of turbulence and drag. A diffuser will keep the airflow smooth and out of the area under the bumper, which will decrease drag and turbulence. With less drag on the car, it can go faster with the same amount of effort.

^^^ That's interesting. Never realized they made an Etch a Sketch program for computers.
Just add some Red Bull or NOS, or even just NOS stickers and you'll get there. Might want to ditch the spare tire too.

It's not that I am trying to prove you wrong, I didn't mean it like that and sorry if I came off the wrong way. The Porsche does break 200 mph. The thing is it needs to be done in 1 mile.
I was thinking it would have to get a custom carbon fiber plate to keep the air from lifting the car. Will a diffuser do it or will have to be from front to back.
