Officially, the fastest car on Planet Earth
310.8mph Street Legal Ford GT:
- Thread starter Inspector #20

OP
I used to road test Ferraris and Lamborghinis at Thermal Raceway in Palm Springs. Its amazing how fast you can eat up a straightaway.
310mph is 455ft/sec and you would cover 1 mile in only 11 seconds.
His previous record was 0 to 295mph over a standing mile.
OP
Harper Dry Lake used to be navigable. Its 9.9 miles at its longest point.

Brittany Force sets national record with fastest Top Fuel run in history: 338.48 mph
Brittany Force made the fastest run in Top Fuel history and reset the national speed record to 338.48 mph in her Flav-R-Pac dragster in the opening round of the NHRA Midwest Nationals at World Wide Technology Raceway.
OP
Koenigsegg used Ford 4.6 4-Valves for years before designing their own engine, which looks like a 4.6 Ford.
The cam advance system works great, but its not needed in their application, IMHO.
I really like how it works....
