OMG, that is freaking amazing! WOW is right! Can't imagine the aero involved, not to mention the power/suspension design. Some bright people involved w/ that run.

If that car were a Vette, this thread would be 8 pages long by now.
Can't believe there's not more interest in such a great accomplishment.

No it's not. Last October he ran 241.9 when I was down there.

This past weekend they ran the event again (they do it twice a year) and he set another new record.

So this is a new video/new record.

FYI, the car is near stock appearing on the outside, and runs around on HRE 19s.

Since when do they run the texas mile "a couple of months" before now? This run was made on 3/27/09 as I understand it.

I'm still curious about power to the wheels.........................................

It looks like on the texas mile site that a couple people broke 250, but the results are raw and no specs are given.
