The link you provided is for a much larger car than 200mm. Which one did you get?

Completely staged, and poorly done IMO.

Medicine is overrated. If you get sick, you obviously are not intended to reproduce. The economy of Darwin is upon us.

Car looks to be based on an Aston Martin.

VERY NICE!! Got me wondering, and it has probably been answered, so I aplogize if this is a rehash, but approx how much power are GT's needing to break 200? Did you run in previous mile events at lower power levels? Stock GT's make what, 520whp or so? And run what, 175 or so in the mile?

Does the run have to be in a Ford GT?

Haha, it is not entirely street legal, but it may end up with a plate anyway. The transaxle itself is the major weak point of these SHO's, but I am hoping that the light weight (700+lbs removed) will help with longevity. The axles are pretty stout, especially if you stay away from VHT...

After seeing that TT LP640 build, you will find my current build quite underwhelming, I know I do now! But, it's what I got to work with. Why does someone put any time or money (more time, less money, as I only have about $4k into not counting the Fikse's) into a FWD family sedan? If you...

How much of that 2 bar gauge does it use? Awesome awesome car.

UGHH! I missed it! I emailed texasmile, asking if the $100 to get on the waiting list is refundable if they can't make room, but you say I will get on no matter what? I really really want to make it down, even if I can only come as a spectator. Won't be running nearly as fast as some of you...

Just returned from the Sandhills Open Road Race. A couple of notable runs during the Standing Mile Shootout. There was a newer ZR1 in attendance, ran 187 and change in the mile. No GT's there this year, but all are welcome! Also, Ron Adee, in his TT V8 powered 'Viper', which ran 192 in the...

I should have looked at the date, sorry! Been some time since I visited here. YEs, Texas has very very lenient safety standards as compared to Maxton. I would say SORC is in between, as you must have a roll bar to run the full mile there. But Vettes and GTs and other select vehicles are...

The Maxton Mile has been around since 1997, the standing mile race at Sandhills Open Road Challenge since 2001. The Texas mile, as great as an event it is, did not begin until 2003.

We can make it happen, by voting for an upcoming add-on car pack here: http://jalopnik.com/5458276/forzalopnik-round-two-group-iii The SHO has made it past the first round, and needs our help to make it through the semis. Thanks!

4.8, not bad at all, especially for a slushbox in a heavy heavy car. Looking forward to more soon!

A pictorial line up of these beautiful autos all together would be awesome!

Awesome, thanks! BTW, how much does one of these contraptions go for?

I want to come play in March! Been wanting to make it down there since the first one. I do not have one of these V-Box's, any way that I could use one for a run? I would love to see how my 60-130 times compare with some super cars.

Excellent!

Very nice! Got any dyno measurements?
