I have the tires hard, no toe in, stiff springs, the fastest gear
there is, car as low as it goes, etc.
Halfway down the front stretch, I'm maxxed out doing about 197, and I

He probably was using the engine swapper and had put a Honda (Murasama)
engine in his Cooper (Coventry). That, and he probably got a decent
slingshot draft off you (or somebody) earlier.
The engine swapper is a little utility that allows you to swap engines
between cars. Subject of much arguing in this newsgroup when it was
released. I'd give you a link but I've never used it (I'm too pure <g>).

Have you done something as simple as check your controler
calibration/output to make sure you're getting full range of values?
