New standing mile record.. 278.2 mph

That sound great. But to get the record to you name ,you can not chance the cars profile, silhouette.
At least at according Guinness World Records and those are the main rules everybody is racing with.
That way every run is comparable to others.

Another angle popped up on Jalopnik:

[NOT A TA]

I've been building my car for years and run at Maxton & Dade Collier a few times. I hope to EVENTUALLY break 200. Can't imagine 278! Thats almost twice as fast as I can go now!

Figured that was the case and they profiled the carbon rear tail section as much as the regulations allowed.

So what is the record for exactly? Sounds like you have to maintain a Forg GT profile or is it profile for whatever production vehicle you are representing. This would keep complete custom vehicles out of the running.

Current record by Johnny Bohner from PPR ,WPB FL with his Ford GT: 283mph,

Read about it here: http://www.worldrecordacademy.com/tr...rd_213218.html

Somebody mae notice that there is one speed record made by Finn on that same page..

You can use what ever car you want but it has to be production car, no tubeframe, carbon body Camaros as in Drag Week.

Earlier Sieg wrote that texas GT guys made a rear section from carbon, to lose weight or why? What I know about land speed racing, like Johnnys GT, they like to add weight. To get more stability at high speeds.

I was honor to meet Johnny at his shop a year ago and got a shop tour and got a chance to study his GT compare our stock one.

I know that car but that 283 number was at a unofficial "rental" using a V-box.. Not taking anything away from anyone, cars going that fast are in another league. I thought running 247 in my Supra was fast 5 years ago but now cars are getting crazy fast!

[SuperB70]

I edit my post, dont know nothing about any unofficial, it has been posted at Guinness records. Then it must been official record.

247mph in a Supra. That is same what the fastest Suora is running in Finland nowdays. We got a C6 Vette that is going faster. Lot of Saab's, Volvo's and Audis, four banger that are around 200mph

Simply amazing.
I've been taking my 69 to these half mile races out here. She see's 180+ in the half mile. Be interesting to see what she does in a mile.
