Because the car isn't an original, is the record truly broken?

What I find truly remarkable is that the static cling decals (and the driver's head) didn't fly off at 199mph!

Congrats Virgil, that is quite an accomplishment. How much power are you putting down and what does your car feel like at that speed?

I should rephrase my question a little... before the war starts.

First, congratulations on the run! Very impressive.
Second, my point to the question is that the current Cobra has an air dam and probably modern engine/components. Possibly modern transmission, so and so forth.
Not trying to take anything away from the run, just asking the question.
