I read somewhere that you can't believe everything your read the Guinness book of records.
Nice runs in spite of of that! :thumbsup
I wonder what the car does in the mile.

I wonder what the car does in the mile.
John Hennessey and Don Goldman have proven it over and over again it front of anyone that wants to watch, with fully documented and available in and out of car footage, validated by employees from RaceLogic/vBox, supplying the same equipment (that samples data 10x more frequently than a consumer vBox) to every automotive magazine in the world, as well as all the major OEM automakers.

I don't doubt what you say, but from the layman's point of view using only public knowledge read on the web I wouldn't know the validity of this run over any others in FL. Most people don't get into the minutia and don't know the people involved, or the equipment used. Only that it is "verified" by Guinness, the gold standard. That is why the Henessey video shows the Guiness man saying a record was broken and not giving great details of the timing equipment used or the sanctioning body used.
BTW the cheap Driftbox and Performance box is plenty accurate even at the slow 10 samples / sec. I got readings that match the my timing slips from the TX mile better than 99.9%!

John and I selected the power plant based on future availability to source the parts in a timely manor. Thanks for all of the support this forum has provided us!
Gentlemen,
I love this car. From the get go even when a few naysayers complained about it being Lotus based I said I wanted one and had I the money I would buy one. The Shelby Cobra is based on the AC Ace but that doesn't make it any less special. Ditto the 1965 GT350 being Mustang based. Make me a yellow one!!!

It is indeed an interesting and fun car. Just keeps showing us that there is a car for every taste and type of adventure. +1 on what the mile speed would be. Congrats to the men from Texas.

Thanks for the kind words guys. The Venom GT is a very close cousin to the Ford GT in many ways. And we are very proud of this connection. I am especially proud of how both cars represent what is great about America - that we are allowed to dream big and achieve big.
