[DeTomaso] Top speed of the fastest P-car?

[Dave Londry]

Looking at the picture of the Gary Hall 202 mph car,
I see only the beard, narrow rears and quite a bit of extra rake.
Pretty encouraging!

Years ago(1982), I almost ate the back end of a Maverick on the Florida turnpike at 140MPH because I had no traction due to lift and so I could not stop quickly enough. With the addition of a chin air dam, that is greatly diminshed. Ground effects were not considered enough back then.
