Guest Removed Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 TT Ford GT breaks the standing mile record at 266.9 mph. Veyron's top speed is 254mph as tested by Top Gear, and it took the car 5 miles at WOT to reach that speed. This GT goes even faster and does it in only 1 mile. That's hardcore. Granted it's not "stock" like the Veyron is either, but the Veyron is also a million dollars.(just for jones and his VeYron kick) http://boostmd.pseudotube.com/hofman_motorsports_heffner_performance_tt_ford_gt_266.9_mph_X179657.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 OMG WOW. The lambo just beat the record not long ago at 250.1, but this GT just shatters it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spam Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Crazy that these cars are traveling faster than an airplane at liftoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn1647545492 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 There has to be a better video than that. Where is the time slip? I'm not saying it didn't happen, I just want to see more than just a weak launch video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Has anyone considered it may not be a good idea to go 266.9mph in a road car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spam Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 As long as people use proper aero tech, the cars should remain stable enough to go much faster. The problem is creating enough downforce and stability throughout the run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I dont have access to the Lambo running 250 but he spins out at the end nearly every run he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linn1647545492 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 when did you post this? Here is the video that was made for 252. Since they made a video like that last time, you would think that the video would be better since they went 266. http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78132 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 As long as people use proper aero tech, the cars should remain stable enough to go much faster. The problem is creating enough downforce and stability throughout the run The GT is at least based heavily off the original racing design, made to handle at high speeds, so I guess that helps a ton. With over 1,900 horsepower and about 41 pounds of boost added to it, no one should really be surprised to know that this particular Heffner Twin-Turbo Ford GT set a ridiculous standing-mile record during the recently-concluded Exotic Rally Miami One Mile last weekend. After posting a pass of 249.7 mph - with 26 pounds of boost - at the Texas Mile a few weeks ago, the very same yellow Ford GT clocked a pass of 266.93 mph - with 41 pounds of boost - in Miami over the weekend. Whether or not the added boost in the car that ran in Miami contributed greatly to the higher top speed has been the point of contention regarding the Ford GT’s new record. But regardless of what’s underneath the hood of the car, you can’t help but try picking your jaws up from the gravel after watching the car do its magic. Whether its 249 or 266, that banana-colored machine has some serious power under its hood. they added 15 pounds of boost to go 17mph faster. Nice.
