Nimrod Rawlings was looking for a Miura at one point. He would have eff’d it up…probably chop and bag it. Glad I sold mine to Dakota GT.

I have a suspicion there was deliberate drama involved.

Never forget that in his insatiable desirable to be a Z-list internet celebutard, Bohmer and his crew of camera wielding mental midgets ran up on Ray Hoffman(RIP) , his wife, and their small child with a mean-mugging chubby Indian Rent-a-Cop wearing a tactical vest that was wielding an assault rifle at a car event. Pure class. I always forget about that.

I don't care if Bohmer breaks the World Bohmer Record at the Bohmer Invitational at Bohmer Field verified by Bohmer International. Clown show. Luckily M2K called it a day when they hit 300 in less than half the distance.
Thanks Dave. Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Sure, it’s impressive, but it says a lot more about the car and the engineering that produced it, than some guy who does stunts to get attention. If he thought that crashing a FGT or lighting it on fire would get him more attention, I’m sure he would do it. And it would be a lot cheaper than going 300+MPH. Mark H can attest to that!

Seems like I always miss events …

The acceleration must be amazing to say the least!

2.40 miles to go 310 is what it took him at what ever hp he is running i suspect 1500-2000hp.

Agreed, well over twice as long for Bohmer and company (Klassless?) to go only 10 more mph at smooth Kennedy Space Center is a long way off of fast compared to M2K's record at the rough Texas Mile...

Faster than a Bugatti Chiron SS with less than half the track length the bug used to hit 304.77 mph :cool: The best Christmas gift ever!!! Congratulations Johnny (y) i always knew that you could do it. I never once doubted that this record was meant to be yours. I always knew that you and your Ford GT had the right stuff. You have made me so proud to be a Ford GT owner. I hope i get the chance to meet you someday...

0-310.8 mph in 45 seconds :alien: He shifted into 6th gear at 266.9 mph. The change in gearing is what took him to the next level.

My favorite part was watching how hard the GT still pulled in the higher gears...impressive run

That was awesome. The acceleration was incredible and I was impressed with how calm everything looked in the cockpit at 310mph.

Yeah, but they were (relatively) more equally capable.
