Totally agree ! He would need in the range of 1200hp+ with the aero on that car to get that kind of speed. Thinking the speed gun needs a tune

No way he had enough empty road to keep accelerating from 150 to 208 for like 10 minutes. Besides all that, a live axle car (or any car really) would need some serious suspension work to keep everything planted at those speeds. There's a reason why superacars use extremely expensive suspension components, 16+ inch carbon ceramic brakes, adaptive aero and all the other wizardry... without that stuff a small bump or dip (at normal speeds) would just send the car flying at over 200MPH.
