Default Fastest S2000?

Ok me and my boss are having a little argument about which one is faster in the quarter mile.... A 1960 something Plymouth RoadRunner or an S2000?

Please help me out so I can put him in his place. He claims that a modified Roadrunner can do over 200+mph in a 1/4 mile and that an S2000 has never will never beat it. HELP ME SHUT HIM UP!

YES! I'm serious. He claims he personally did 210mph in a Roadrunner on a dragstrip but was beat by a Camaro.

to pull a 200mph trap speed in the 1/4 mile it would have to be somewhere in the very low 7 to high 6 second range. Possible, yes. Probable, no.

Any car can be turned into a 200mph drag car, just the body, frame, drivetrain, etc. might be a little different
