New Texas Mile record set by Mark Heidaker.


I would like to here more about your choice of Coils. I see they are no longer {Coil on plug} Did you do that so they are in a cooler place and is there a performance gain with those type of ignition coils?

Those look like GM LS type coils.
 
Congratulations to all! Just awesome speed!
 
he went faster than an indy cars speed record of 256 mph at Michigan speedway :bow i see he crossed the finish line in 5th gear. looks like he has the gearing to go 350 mph in 6th gear at the Mojave 1.75 mile next month based on the rpm's he is shifting at :driving:

i think i can hit ~ 215 mph next month at the Mojave 1.75 mile with the rather stockish 751 rwhp that i have. lol, that would still be faster than Nascars record of 212.8 mph set by Bill Elliott at Talladega back in 1987 :old:

^^^^ - thanks for the info :thumbsup

all i need is a 100 shot of nitrous and i can go 230 mph out in Area 51 and my car is still street legal :lol
 
Congrats to all the players. Very impressive.
I hope I get to see the camo beast someday.
 
Was watching Speed this morning and saw on some show they had a Texas Mile Recap. Saw Sean on TV and the GT with some footage from the 257 run. You guys are famous! :cheers

Dave -

I haven't seen a notice of it in the Ford Racing weekly newsletter. What gives? You'd think they would have put in a tidbit about it.
 
I'll make sure they get it in next time Ralphie. Surprised they didn't throw it in there. Thanks for the heads up.

Outstanding. What a testament.

:thumbsupOutsatnding! Wow!
 
Congrats
 
Congrats, this is stunning. I can't imagine how it feels going that fast in a GT. However I am quite sure it would not be beneficial to the cleanness of my underwear though.

May the tires always be you !
 
Did the "scud camo" GT get new paint ?
Or is this a different vehicle? Thnx
