Front-wheel-drive cars have the ability to go fast in a straight line, but there's only so much power you can add before the car becomes undriveable on the street. Fortunately, in runway racing, the cars don't need to turn. They just need to accelerate really, really fast. Just like this Acura Integra—which just became the world’s first front-drive car to break 200 mph in the standing half-mile.

Myles Kerr, the owner and driver of this Integra, has been after the 200-mph mark for at least two years. Here's Kerr and the teal Acura hitting 190 mph at the 2015 Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack. Back then the little two-door was pushing around 900 hp.

According to 1320video, Myles claimed the front-drive half-mile record with a 198-mph run last year, but that wasn’t enough. At this year’s Airstrip Attack, he finally broke the 200-mph barrier

This time, the turbocharged Integra ran 201.07 mph, eclipsing its previous speed and making it the fastest front-wheel-drive car ever in the half-mile.

Watch for yourself as the car flies down the runway.
