What a machine! Get it on a longer track so we can see it's true limit

Longer track? Where in the hell is there a longer runway aka track, that isn’t surfaced with salt ? Lol

@@mikekellum6238, VW's test track in Ehra Lessien, Germany, has a straight that's 5.4 miles long. It's where Bugatti set the unofficial world record for a production car at 304.773mph with its Chiron Super Sport 300+.

[@widelcd]

How long was that track ?

[@Quiksilversurf311]

Absolutely beautiful run, I’m looking forward to a baddddd a** 333 MPH run.

[@JohnnyBohmerProvingGroundsSLF]

Me too!!!! Thanks JB

[@WATCHING-247]

Most channels would have used a click bait title like 'GT40 avoids crash at 310mph!!!!' And there would of been a stupidly long build up etc, thanks for getting straight into it that was good.

all ford needs to do is have john mihovich design the engine next time

WTG Johnny!!! Wow......engine was still pushing that big gear hard when you let off. Of course, impeccable driving as always. Only a forklift driver with experience towing overloaded trailers could have tamed that bump at the end.

[@JohnnyBohmerProvingGroundsSLF]

One of my favorite comments yet lol!!!! And yes I agree, being a lowly forklift and truck driver for years helped immensely - JB P.S. Please don't tell the DOT man lol

[@luniticvicthemostinteresti394]

He was so fast he passed the space shuttle. If you watch closely you can see a space shuttle display in the background

[@valentinvas6454]

IT was revving to 8600 at the end. With another gear it should be able to do quite a bit more I think.

[@thedoncadillacshow2907]

YOU DA MAN Johnny !!!!!!!! One of the greatest moments of my life ❤️ 310.8 MPH Worlds fastest car!!!!! AWESOME BRO!!!!!

Awesome Johnny! I could tell you were running out of road fast! No telling how fast you could go. Salt flats?

I'm not sure even Bonneville could contain that monster. More likely Ehra-Lessien in Germany, though Volkswagen might object! 😉

Oh it crushes their computer simulated hypercar myths and 99% refuse to accept that a Ford is # 1

[@TheUsmc0802]

Amazing, all 6 gears are actually for acceleration and not just for cruising.

[@dustinbroderick3878]

I mean u can accerlerate in any gear in any car I think they should build a custom 7 or 8 speed trans with a taller final drive and do like 360 mph

[@Nfs-_-Fabio]

I swear if the track was longer, this car could reach probably something around 350-400mph😱😱😱😱 Its also good to see that one of my fav cars ever now has the world record👌👍

[@novoopala2611]

É impossível alcançar 400 mph, ao menos que você esteja pilotando um avião

[@Malibu1515]

If you are talking the 05-06 Ford GT being your favorite car, it always had the record. The Ford GT has been the fastest car in the standing mile for years.

I had an old test and tune video for the GTs at le mans where one of fords drivers said there cars were capable of 265 MPH...But the track was not safe for those speeds...in 1967...Cheers and well done guys...The old GT still kikin ass after 55 years !!!...

Congratulations on your achievement!! I Salute You.

[@JohnnyBohmerProvingGroundsSLF]

Thank You!!

[@grdprojekt]

By all means, this is impressive. But of course it's not official _official_ world record because it needs to run in each direction. So what's stopping these guys to do the return run? 🤔

[@pete6705]

Good question

[@JohnnyBohmerProvingGroundsSLF]

This id NOT a production car going for a production car record which requires both directions within 30 minutes of each other. This is just the fastest street legal car on the planet earth. This achievement does not require two directions, just like drag racing, half mile or standing mile records. Thanks for the great comment :)

[@mpboi21]

Imagine having another gear, at over 260mph 🤯!!!!!

[@tappajaav]

He doesn't have to imagine

[@dustinbroderick3878]

Imagine it had a custom built 7 speed manual with a taller final drive somewhere in the high 2s like. 2.72 prolly could do 360 with a longer track and some stability/suspension/tire modifications
