Build to run 9s AND go 200MPH @ Boneville?

I was wondering what kind of build you would need on a single car to run 9s at the track (OK with dropping interior, etc for lightening) AND then go run 200MPH+ at a land speed event.

I realize power is power, but I am curious what elements would need to change to reach each goal in the same car?

Thanks for any and all info!

Pretty simple, you would need a different chassis than the w211 to run 9s

3200-3600lbs with some good aero characteristics and 750+rwhp or awdhp should get that done

Turbo a new Z06 running about 18lbs of boost with an 88mm+ turbo and you would probably meet those goals

Do you just have 100k around you want to blow... I am really good at spending money

Why can't a W211 be in the 3600lb range?
Lowering module.
Power adders.

Remove motor/trans and interior and it would probably be 3600lbs

It actually has decent aero flow but 9s is just too much out of this chassis IMHO

Honestly I hope to get proven wrong

With juice one guy RaceIQ is hunting for 9s ( 750whp )

We shall see

VRP is working on getting Whipple SCs running on our chassis's

So 3.4L whipple on E-85 should be pretty nasty in a year or two once the kinks are worked out... we should find the limits of our stock blocks shortly

Yeah, that's where you start when your idea is to run 200mph at Bonneville ... lol
