MarkH new Texas Mile record 293.6 mph

[nautoncall]

Ohhhh myyyyyy!! Congrats Mark and team. Is this not the greatest car ever created?? No newer built turbo cars (gallardo, huracan, gt-r) can compete with a 12 year old car!!! Get that 280 off the side!!

The cockpit video doesn't give you the sense of just how fast they are moving.

The outside shots on the other hand are insane. Go Lord that car is moving fast.

Congrats Mark and team!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

"The Old Ford GT Is Actually The Fastest Car In The World"

http://jalopnik.com/the-old-ford-gt-is-actually-the-fastest-car-in-the-worl-1793676237

"The fact that besides the engine, the Ford GT is mostly stock and working well speaks a lot about the engineering behind the base car."

"Based on the car's onboard data, it runs 9.60 at 160 mph in the quarter mile as it accelerates up to speed! The car is not even at full throttle at this point."

"The run through the mile takes about 22 seconds and the car is not into its full power until the last 10 to 12 seconds of the run."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that red is NOT the fastest color. Sorry Dr. Frank. I don't even know those guys at M2K but I couldn't be more proud of them even if they were my own family. Congratulations to all of you. I've been sending the jalopnik link to everyone I know.

After reading the article the car is amazingly stock. Speaks volumes about Ford's engineering and Camilo's design.

Congrats Mark and Kevin on your achievement! I am so excited to be living in this era of the GT, NFGT, and Ford Motor Company. Having witnessed the Ford GT wins at Le Mans and Daytona, I am certain we will look back at this period of automotive history as one of the best!
Here's to what's still yet to come!!! GO FORD!!!!!!!

Wow braking zone must be unsettling, as the car spun while still at about 100 turning onto a taxiway.

What an accomplishment. Well done

unless they have changed it since Ive been there a few years ago there is actually a really nasty bump a little after the end of the mile marker exactly when you are going to be hard on the brakes, very unsettling going over 200 mph and trying to stop and having to deal with a bump all at the same time.

the videos and the this whole thread..... Im going to use my limited vocabulary and describe it as simply badass!

New location. It's in Victoria now.

Smooth, clean and fast at the Victoria air strip but still a challenge to stop at the end at those speeds!

Mark, is that the same wrap you've had on a few years?? Impressive wrap to withstand those speeds numerous times!!

What tires are you running? Hoosiers? It looks like you have stock base wheels.

Magnificent!

Just noticed the Ahlman Engineering sticker just in front of the "gas cap" lever. NICE
