Was the 253 with a tailwind?

Only one run with the Supra had a tailwind. All of the other 240+mph runs were into a headwind.

What would it take for a Camaro to run 250 in the mile? 1300hp?

Dont get me wrong that supra is a mean bitch. Its a true straight line missle and im sure it can and will go faster

And I dont know for sure about the tail winds I just seen it do a burn out and the smoke went foward of the car
