Get off the highway and come out to The Mile. It is like running on a straight 1 1/2 mile section of open highway without the fear of tickets and jail time. A High Speed Shoot-out and Land Speed Racing Venue that compares to the likes of the legendary Bonneville that beckons one to "Drive in Your World, Race in Ours"!

Enzo Ferrari just came back to life in his grave from this nightmare.

[@codyking4848]

Not hardly. A Ferrari F40 or Enzo would cut this thing into ribbons on a racetrack. Two entirely different styles of car. Just like the Ferrari has no chance at drag racing this monster, the Ford has no chance if there is a turn involved. Just not set up that way.

[@lop8828]

Cody King says who obviously this set up is no good for track and figure 8 but it will not dissapoint. too many variables to say the f40 or enzo would destroy. same tire, no tcs, fuel octane, and limited aero would be milliseconds close.

[@jackbrand4621]

Are you not familiar with Le Mons?

[@codyking4848]

Jack Brand never heard of Le Mons. Le Mans, on the other hand, yes... I've raced there. Are you too stupid to understand this car isn't built for road racing? It had been modified to go fast in a straight line... that's it. There is nothing to argue... it's right in front of your face. So unless ferrari is suddenly competing in the Texas mile, they could give a shit less about this particular car.

[@mikeg3308]

haha that's what i was thinking. This car was built for the sole purpose of giving Enzo Ferrari nightmares.

I did not see any license plate on it...are you sure it is currently registered and insured as a street car?

[@mecagodzilla3]

Even if street legal IN USA, it isn't a street legal car! In the world you have emissions, things that thoose tuners know very little about (or nothing probably). Any engine can be tuned, and if a V8 can go fast, a W16 can go way way faster with tuning, but then it will break down much much much frequently, things that on hypercars doesn't need to happens! Even brabus is a proper tuning company, but still they make a tune that keep you into emissions, that stuff is hard to do! Fast into a runway is easy, go fast into corners, then we'll see who is really better ;)

[@quinatakara650]

Lol you act like every place has emissions laws. Tuners know more about emissions laws than anyone else, we simply have the money and people to go around the system.

We shouldnt be bragging about the moon landing anyways since it was decades ago plus a Nazi was the one who managed to get us there

[@mrclassicman]

I am sorry for the over the top reference, but in all honesty, this car did what few others were able to do! That was to take on the master builders, Ferrari in particular, and beat them! Mind you it was a long time ago but it did happen. It is also very difficult to find advancements in America that are not fueled by people of other countries! In fact except for our indigenous Indians, we are all of foreign decent. I love cars, sports cars mainly and it cases me to be irrational at times! So please accept my apology.

[@mrclassicman]

The same way that I did not reference Henry Fords model "T" , I did not make mention of all of the developmental work on rocketry. In the highly competitive European racing there have always been several manufacturers that have rained supreme. One of which was Ferrari who dominated the LeMans for years. I was just impressed with the competitive nature of this car, and would have appreciated it no matter who manufactured it! This is just a humble mans opinion and should serve as nothing more.

The sweetest thing about the greatest super car ever made, it's an American Original.

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

Just a stunning, stunning car. The new one is, of course, still very attractive, but the original GT40 has to be the most perfect looking car ever made. Just screams aggression, speed, dominance, all while looking absolutely sublime.

I wonder what could be done with the Fran Hall Superlight Ford GT-R. It's a lighter car and has a wider stance. It would be fun to see 3500 HP in a car that weights 2500 pounds

I can't even comprehend the aerodynamics of that car, how the fuck was able to stay grounded at 293 mph. Plus the sound it made when it took off was "orgasmic:

[@abelucious]

Obviously not a stock Ford GT record, anyone can put a 2000 horsepower engine in any car and get similar numbers.

[@eds3969]

It's the stock engine, but obviously specially tuned. BTW, any car can't do this. It requires a masterpiece of engineering for a car to stay on the ground at that speed.

[@fordgtguy]

Uh no... most cars would fall apart, flip or crash approaching these kind of speeds under such stress. This requires aerodynamics, rigidity, traction, top-notch engine and transmission reliability under strain. Most supercars nowadays could even do this with 2000 hp, as evident by the amount that have tried.

[@eaglefat9398]

drag cars do these speeds all the time, a 72 chevy nova is not aerodynamic whatsoever but add twin turbos and a fat set of slick tires and it will do it, heres a 240mph in the 1/4 mile puckup truck if he kept going for 3/4 of a mile more it would do +300, A 1988 Trans Am has a aero CD of .28 , any corvette after 1984 has a aero CD of .31 or better and a Bugatti Veyron has a CD of .34 so don't think a GT is anything special in terms of aero

[@timetravelingoldman6839]

[@katsaras1]

As far as I know no car with any available tyres can reach that kind of speed.. either are KPH or they're just shitting on us

[@SirSpinalColumn]

Andreas upsidedown so land speed record cars doing 900+ are just a lie?

[@katsaras1]

No, tho their tires are made as a "complete rubber" tire, meaning the whole thing is rubber, no air is needed to infate them, and their wheels are made like a train's wheels with very few wholes on them (compared to the ones on racing or production cars), things that make these wheels incedibly heavy and a car like this with wheels like these would never even make it to 60. If it was that easy to break world records or if there were wheels like these, the bugatti chiron, hennessy f5, koenigsegg regera etc, would have already hit the 300+ record already, and every week at least we would have a new car with a new world record speed

[@_winter7745]

Andreas upsidedown Those cars don't represent the state of the art. They are 'production cars' meaning heavy safety features, electronic governing, blah blah blah. You get a lot more out of a car that's so built it can't even make a turn.

[@GoonSquadMonopoly]

Those cars are designed to have a margin of safety built into them and are built to drive in almost all conditions. This GT probably runs Hoosier racing slicks and the only liability is the driver behind the wheel. Also, this car is probably making around 2500hp. No reason why it shouldn't be able to reach these speeds from a power basis.

[@greigsanderson]

So that's what 293 mph sounds like... that is BAD ASS.

[@jacobbaumgardner3406]

There's only one word to describe this sound. This sounds "American".
