250mph is impressive but it was a rolling start and a 5 mile run in a car that costs over a million.
How about the guys that come awfully close with cars at 1/10 the price and only in one mile? Texas Mile. Never mind the 1100hp Lamborghini's, that can match the 250, look at the 1997 Toyota Supra results at 247.7 mph. http://www.texasmile.net/pdf/050511-...rsVehicles.pdf Last edited by PHC1; 08-03-2011 at 01:00 PM. |

A modified Ford GT has recently set the World Record for the fastest standing start mile. Just over 252mph. This was accomplished on a old airfield.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk9vMQRIp1E Now another Ford GT may have set the unofficial mark at 266. http://www.worldcarfans.com/11004272...e-world-record Jim Last edited by Still-One; 08-03-2011 at 01:25 PM. |

The Supra is still one of the sexiest cars ever made by Japan.
It was one of my favorite cars in my younger years; it still is to this day.
