Watch the MPH in the bottom right [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif[/img] . In case your wondering what the Design 1 Supercharger performance is like, this should be be about the same..

yup, the 968 SC kit will be just as fast ( provided it's installed neatly...in a box, in the trunk of that Ford GT ) [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]

the video from inside the cabin just doesn't put things in the right perspective, IMO in spite of the mph reading.. but once they show the car flying by on that track, oh man... un-f-ing believable speed !

"Its 252.97 MPH standing mile is a new production car world record." I dont see how this is a true statement. Ultimate aero is 257.11, and actually a production car. This GT is an aftermarket tune isnt it?

the ford gt is a production car... but that one obviously has been highly modded. i personally wouldnt drop that car into a production category.

didnt even look like that guy was giving it full throttle!! how much would it suck to break those tires loose at 220mph?! haha

I can't help but wonder if he can put down full power at all.

Looked like he had more speed if he wanted. Maybe the airbox mod would get him a few more ponies.

Huh, I'm sure he's runnung a cat back exhaust to attain those speeds. Anyone check out Bellos early 1990's 911turbo hitting I think 234mph top speed.

I love the sound and look of Ford GTs. That run was awesome.

I love the Ford GT but the Ultimate Aero seems to have the legitimate bragging rights to world's fastest production car. BTW, the Aero could go as fast as 273 MPH, but ran out of road on the test. I bet Flash and Pete could get it over 300MPH [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] .
