Well, the video does show he was running in the 160 class, which means he was not sustaining 190 mph speeds over extremely long times, but hitting them at peaks.

However, with that, even the Nascar boys in '68 were running 170+ in stock bodied Chargers. Add a few aero pieces like on this Charger, and 190 shots aren't out of the question.




Curious... you think a 70 Challenger would fare better at those insane speeds than a 68 Charger? All else being equal (even weight)? Its definitely a more slippery design...




Only thing that matters at that speed is aero. Neither are good. If you made similar aero mods you would be close.

Keep in mind drag matters, but really stability is arguably more important at those speeds. Particularly lift, front and rear.
