saw the video on facebook a day or so ago, pretty crazy. I would love to be a passenger , definitely not a driver , but I would go for a ride.

Brutal is the only way I can describe what I just watched.

Is it warm in here?

 

[JMoses]

That's pretty awesome. The car is definitely very traction limited in the first 3 gears. And you gotta love the HUGE Brembo brakes!!

Wow tire blistering speed there . I would go for a ride if I could get in the car .

Clearly, that was impressive...

What REALLY impresses me, is that type of ridiculous speed over a paved surface was already done 26 years ago, with a total street car, using archaic technology in comparison. Only 16 MPH difference from then to now.

I wouldn't have to be asked twice if I wanted to drive it. YES!!

 

[Bigtanker]

The Stig could have done 280!

Just goes to show the class of guys like Call away and Lingenfelter and their teams!

I had forgot about the sledgehammer till you brought it up, most impressive car ever! This was before the days of LS motors and simple tuning!

I will say you must realize just how hard those last 20mph are! It simply takes insane amounts of power to punch that big of hole in the air!

Whoa! I can't believe you would trust someone else with your life at that speed! If it were me I'd definitely want to be driving because I trust myself more than anyone at that speed. I'm not saying I'm a pro driver by any stretch of the imagination but no one is hardly a pro at 270mph. If I'm going that fast I want to be in control.. I guess I'm just very untrustworthy of others lol.

Sweet

 

[PapaScout]

I'll take one in red please!

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

Awesome ride.

I don't think you realize the skill the pros have when driving at those speeds, something as simple as a upshift or lifting the throttle can make the car loss control, I have seen many cars loose it during the Texas mile and other road races as well as at the salt flats, the ride seems to be the scariest once you are ready to lift the throttle, seems to really upset the car.

very true, these guys make it look easy. no doubt this guy had a lot of practice runs getting close to max speed to see how it handled at that speed range. would be a hell of a ride for damn sure! much respect!

One one mile......!

Here's another one even faster. New World's Fastest Car! Ford GT Bad v8 1700 Hp - 455.817 km/h ( Guinness World Records ) - YouTube

Peak speed is directly proportionate to $$$$$ spent.

 

[fuddus99]

Ridiculous. Is the record for production car?

 

[D-Ric902]
