New Standing mile Record: 266.9 mph!!! Insanity!
Performance Power just went 253 mph in the standing mile this weekend... in a 1800+ hp Ford GT
Apparently, they had a parachute ready, but didn't use it. That is such a HUGE number above what the others were doing. Not just a small increment like what we are used to. bye bye Supra and Lambo...... America is #1 in the mile again http://www.fordgtforum.com/forums/im...es/patriot.gif (some old footage) |
And here is the record run already on Youtube!
|
Imagine if there wasnt all that wheel spin lol
|
:mrgreen::thumbup:
i'm just wondering, given a track like the nardo ring and proper gearing what kind of top speed that car would actually get upto. MAN!! that car is a monster!! |

They are planning on running Bonneville in an official manner with a goal of 300+ mph. |
Thats what the extreme banked tracks are for, taking the extreme sideloads off the tyres and placing it on the suspension.
Some one needs to build a 85* banked 10 mile oval hehe |
Gentelmen, the record has been smashed, and beaten like the little girl it was...

WOW is an understatement. The speed is insane, let alone one achieved within a mile.

Top fuelers aren't based on street cars. It's interesting to see how the best does it's thing... so little drama, almost no wheelspin, and it's over so fast. |
