GT Driven in Anger - 200+ mph

[nthfinity]

A Local GT was part of a small group to go up to Oscoda to legally hit v-max in their cars legally... or at least come close to it.

Speedo indicated 216 mph, GPS indicated 202 mph ( at 211 mph speedo), and Radar timed at 199 mph

Pully, Tune to 640 RWHP at Oscoda

Forgot to mention. Waiting was not for over 5 hours just to get in line, and everybody who wanted did at least 10-15 runs.

Waiting was about 45 minutes after running 4 times in a row. I was making a "stab" at the over abundance of cars, and not the best organization at the Texas Mile

What was the distance you were able to run?

Is this an annual event or what?

Where do we sign up?:banana

In some time, Perhaps both DBK and I can work something out for something more specific here that is bigger. This trip was in conjunction with a local shop called Motorwerks here in Michigan. It was a big success for what it was; and hopes to grow that side as well.

The total distance of the runway is about 2 miles, however, you can start a "little" early in the staging zone to make it as if its slightly longer. It's enough distance for a pully tune GT to hit 200, that much is true

(this is not my GT, just the shots of it are mine)

since the runway was a lil over 2 miles long i assume you were on the gas for at least 1.5 miles before you started braking?

+200

My speedo only has a 5-6 mph error at 200 mph and it has not been adjusted on a dyno. I run the Goodyear tires. Could that have been a tire issue?

The driver was braking at the 2000 mark +-

Stock GY's were on this GT. I wasn't the driver, or passenger... too busy taking photos. So the passenger noting 211 mph while timing 202 on the GPS may have had a poor perspective of the speedo....
