From the looks of that vid you had a pretty good tailwind pushing you along there. what was the wind speed and DA on that run?

 

[GT1261]

WoW that GT is SICK!

BOTH had better be indulged in after the run!


But, on a serious note, has a FGT ever been to 300 mph (or 300+) in a wind tunnel? I darn sure would want to do that before seeing somebody actually drive one that fast. "An ounce of prevention" and all that..

Even with wind tunnel testing, I am confident that you won't catch EP or I behind the wheel of such a car unless it is in a garage.

I saw an article that said this was a Hennessey build. I thought it was done out of a different shop. What's the skinny on the build?

 

[Hennessey Performance]

Engine is built at Accufab for John M. ShaneT tunes the Motec. Car is built at our shop.

 

[MarkH]

Couldn't have said it better John. Thanks again for all staff help and could not say enough about what a great job Kevin Kesterson out of the Hennessey shop has done building and designing the car.

Thanks to everyone !!!!!!
