For those of us that run the mile all the time, a general rule of thumb is that you pick up ABOUT 25-30MPH over your half mile speed.

That is why you see some cars will back off after they know their half mile speed via a radio message if they are trying to hit a specific one mile speed and they know they cant hit it based on the half mile MPH

It takes a VERY efficient car to hit 200 with only 800 RWHP. I havent seen any 3700+ pound cars do that with only 800. Wind plays a HUGE factor as a strong headwind or crosswind will make the task much more difficult.

I DID see a early model Z06 that weighed roughly 3100 pounds PLUS driver hit 202 with roughly 800 HP. But as I said that is a very efficient car.

Gearing plays a factor too. I had a friend that had a Camaro fifth gen convertible go 220 in the mile but he had 2.73 rearend gear and about 1400 hp. He had a GEAR VENDORS setup that he basically used to split gears Car with driver was bout 4600 pounds

You REALLY need 900-1000 RWHP to have a shot at 200 and if you are pushing around a 4500 pound car, you will need MORE than that (Like a PIGGY HELLCAT for instance LOL).
