Default Time for some common sense here

Guys,
Todays Grand Am cars with 7-800 HP and ground effects and built for high speed barely hit 200 on the high bank portion of the Daytona road course.

But a Cobra of 30+ years ago with maybe 500 hp and the shape of a brick went 198.
Even the Nascar stockcars of the sixties with much better aero packages than Cobras were just approaching 200 and that is running the full high bank course.

You guys beleive what you want but common sense says it never happened.
