SW looked so excited as he drove by fist pumping out of the car. It was a great run and I'm glad I was there to witness it. Our mini camp with some tech'rs was visible at 3:10 in the video. It was a great time

I'm finding the Cd of Supra to be similar and slightly higher than (.28 C6 vs .31 Supra).

EITHER WAY, that's definitely moving. Congrats to SW and crew with the record setting pass. I cant imagine 0-240+ in under 30 seconds!

Here's the video: http://texasmile.net/257.117.wmv

I thought someone took a jet car out there also and went 325mph or something like that. And that was only hitting the after burner for the last 1/4 mile.

actually the record was broke in march by a land speed jet car like 325 or something. My GTO only hit 171 but man it was awesome. Its not even the speed part that puckkered my butt but the stopping, now that was scary...

Edit: woops I should have probally read the whole thread before I posted....

The 241 run was insane. I'm still talking about it, and probably will be yapping and replaying the video all week at work.

Craig post up more pictures! I'll post up some of mine this week.
