    I'am a thinking maybe you should look at 5 point seat belts and a roll cage.

    The shape of the rear top on the aero sedans [HenryJ ] and others act like a wing and try to lift the rear end at high speed. More weight and a spoiler off the trunk help with down force.
    Make the air move around the front with out putting it under the car aka lower ,air dam, skirts along the body sides etc. Check out the FLAT CAD 38 chevy from Bonneville and the OHIO MILE. They have a record a round 167 mph.

    Going fast is fun, being safe is cool.

    Thats all I know,
