Gentlemen,

Our good friend Ray Hofman just ran 266.9 mph in the standing mile into a direct 18 mph headwind at the Exotics Rally in Florida. He bested the world record of 255 set earlier today by the Performance Power GT by 11 mph!!!

Congrats to Jason Heffner & crew as well.

Does anybody know how far his gears would stretch out? With a tail wind he would be in the 270s. It looks like the GT just changed all the rules of the game. Tell the Lamborghini boys to hit the reset button.

The Ford GT is the one car by which all others are judged...... including the Bugatti Veyron :usa
