Come on, you could probably get better than 236 miles per hour with a highly bombed Cummins in a Pacer.

Actually the Pacer would act like a giant airplane wing at speed. It would need massive air damming to hold it down and a giant tunnel underneath.
I know, I know, buzz kill!
How about a Pantera?

I think that car would self destruct at 130 or so, cheap Japanese plastic and metal.
I had a fist gen 5 sped Neon that would go 120 up through the canyon, one of those might be an interesting choice... or a duster...
