I learned a couple of things from watching this video:

1) Yes 200 mph does not seem all that fast anymore.
2) Santa Claus relocates from the North Pole to the Salt Flats every summer?

A BIG one!!
that surprising for 2 reasons:
1. 4 cyl turbo hemi
2. only 1045hp? I figured youd need at least 1500-2000 to hit those speeds... Guess aero is the big factor on that
