Supposedly putting out 600 hp and running Nitrous.

It ran 200.6 mph, it was a sanctioned event.

I would rather have the Ligenfelter ZR-1, it ran 218 mph

Wouldn't it be a hoot if somehow the Lingenfelter could get on exactly the same toll road w troopers watching and blow the doors off the C7???? WoooHooo!
That would be a rush.

with lingenfelter you're at least guaranteed to get your car and parts back without involving the cops

Besides our own guys like Marc and Pete, I would trust Lingenfelter the most.
