Default Performance Power Racing - TT Ford GT 1550 RWHP








Screenshots and video here. (same vid as below).



"Performance Power Racing was started with one goal in mind: to build the fastest cars in the world. So far, we are right on target. Our shop owned Ford GT was the first street car EVER to break the 250 mph barrier in the Standing Mile."

which standing mile? If it was the one at the Texas mile this year, there is a TT Ford GT that put down some serious numbers...

It had the record until heffener did 266 in theirs. PPR said they are going to be at 2000 horsepower with that motor though so who knows what it will run, they made that run with 1370 at the wheels

Nasty car but wtf was that video? Looked more like a commercial on TLC or whatever for those 'man-shows'
Example: *cue popular American manly rock song* "hardcore man stuff show about manly men doing manly ****
- stay tuned for the season premier - Billy Bad *** projectile-vomits a handful of razor blades and kills 3 record setting alligators in the everglades off of his air boat at 75mph - all while trying to remove a pesky popcorn kernel - Whoops! Double B is crazy!"

Otherwise, there was very little of the car.
How this video could have easily been a lot better:
Do not insult my intelligence with 'quick' interstate half-lane changes in your video, especially more than one.
No dick swinging....please....let the car talk. I don't think i heard a single exhaust note or a turbo spooling.
You're not from Orange County Choppers....don't mean mug and cross your arms while doing panning shots....
Finally....if they had played some music that's not been heard a billion times, showed some pictures of
the car from a variety of angles with understandably general specs...then faded into a video of the gauges
(mainly the tach. and speedo.) while doing a solid pull up to 150+ *deep breath* theeeeeennnn that video would be a hell of a lot better.
Because as we all know....power means nothing on the street if you can't hook, which -on another topic- is the main advantage i see with those UGR Lambos.

such a lame video.


LMR's camaro went 244 with a 31mph head wind this past weekend at the Texas Mile in Beeville.
