I thought about getting Stokes to build up a 1200HP monster, find a gutted Sy,
make the necessary mods and try for 275mph, hoping for 300mph.
$35K for the engine, $15K for a donor vehicle, ad on support parts etc and I
think you could have a blast down the flats for around $75K - Not a lot seeing
that the vehicle would be worth that after its all over. Just gotta find someone
with a wallet that large and an interest in fast pick-ups...

I thought the record was 200+ mph. Does anyone know if this has been broken
since then?
anyone else out there with a Stokes engine thinking the same thing I am??
