new standing mile record for Ford GT...or any other car

[kumar]

I just heard that the Performance Power white Ford GT owned by Johnny Bohmer went 253mph in the Top Gun standing mile run in Florida. :bow

Totally ridiculous. That is ungodly fast.

 

[Hennessey Performance]

Wow, if that is true then that is epic.

And I'll be the first one to put my foot in my mouth.

I posted this video many months ago (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iJOkwmno2c) and we all had a good laugh at his "outrageous" claims.

Yep.. I was there : )

 

[dbk]

Ditto. To be fair though, the assumptions on what the car would do were partly based on things like the $900,000 GT they had for sale on their site. :lol

i dont even wanna go to the Texas Mile now to chase Mullet's 226

seems so insignificant :lol

 

[kumar]

curious to see what Torrie ran...they are saying 220+

seems like an awesome day for the GT

bye bye Supra and Lambo......

America is #1 in the mile again :usa

I'm just hoping the Top Gun run is well organized like the Texas Mile so it can be "official."

 

[dbk]

I heard it was pretty good and they have some sort of Tag Heuer timing system.

i heard they had tailwinds. since the track is basically at sea level i bet the DA was close to sea level as well. must be nice......
