So...performance power, is claiming they're ford gt went 280, a week before the texas standing mile @ NASA.....and they brought they're 975 rwhp corvette out....and, apparently, it went 250mph in the STANDING mile.

lol.

I guess my math has been off all this time on gear/power selection for my standing mile build.

Here goes...

Being naive happens to me on occasion, but I took a moment to look up the record and found that regarding the 283MPH GT, it actually appears to be true.

Couldn't find anything on the Vette though.

I just can't see that 283mph can be done with full weight FordGT and 1500-1600rwhp in 1mile he's running 20mph faster with 400+rwhp less than all the TX Big dogs
And the C5 ZO6 I've read somewhere that the car makes 975rwhp no way in hell it will run 250+mph

And still no vids of any of those runs.

If they ran those numbers than big time congrats for them for amazing

Why the private rental, as opposed to a santioned, well known, public event?
