Thinking of putting a parachute on my car over the winter. I have the mount for the chute on the rear, but don't have the chute, cable or release lever. Just wanting a small chute, and was hoping to get some insight from the people who already have the experience. My car right now goes 143 and weights 2350 with me in it. Expecting to get close to the 150 mph mark where a chute is required. Do all chutes have to be cable release or can it be done electrically?

Thanks in advance. How big in diameter should I go? Do I need a launcher?
