Or you can just take your car to a track and race around it at top speed. 200mph is 200mph reguardless of what your in.

I take my car to the track now - actually Sebring next weekend, and have quite the good time - but I would still give my left one for a ride around in a pro prepared ALMS car with a pro driver.

In my limited experience - it is quite eye opening.

its not so much going 200, though that is something, but the breakneck speeds around corners and hard braking that true racecars can pull off.

and its "regardless"
