Not sure how many people follow this stuff, but these are the latest from the Texas mile yesterday. There is a thread on Supraforums.com with some details on some of the cars.


1. SVS Viper Twin-Turbo: 223 MPH;

2. AutoBanh '98 MKIV Supra: 222.3 MPH (formerly third place at 212 MPH);

3. Heffner Ford GT Twin-Turbo: 222.2 MPH (formerly 215 MPH);

4. Eddie Bello (!) Porsche 993(?): 210 MPH;

5. Viper GTS Twin-Turbo (Mike): 205 MPH;

6. SRT10 Twin Turbo: 205 MPH (formerly 199.6 MPH)

7. Ford GT with bolt-ons: 199.8 MPH;

8. Evo 700: 185 MPH;

9. '07 C6 Z06 with H/C package: 178 MPH.

 

That's pretty close - only .8 seperates the top 3 cars!

 

Eddie Bello? Holy crap.... I don't think I've heard that name in like 10 years if it's who I'm thinking of. Someone needs to step up with a twin turbo Z06 to compete with the Vipers; I'd think the Z06 would have the advantage in aero. I bet traction is a *****

 

Just happened on this post thought I'd jump in.

In fact this dicussion was just on Corvetteforums.


Go to lingenfelter site. They already beat that record but didn't make the shootout....with the Beast!

So the LPE TT C6 Z06 holds the " Unoffical record " for the standing mile at 226mph and LPE says they think the car has a 230 in it.

BTW it is a customers car and rumor has it making over 13 - 1400 hp but LPE isn't giving info until customer says it's OK.

So " offfically the Viper TT holds the record....for now.

 

Finally hit the goal he want(Supra).Any vid?Or any EVO around?

 

Video of the Supra doing 222mph



The Supra posted the fastest speed of 228mph, beating out the unlimited class cars.

 

What's an Evo 700?

 

Think Star Wars

 

Probably one of those 35R or 37R cars that Buschur built. 220's is nuts!! They can have that I have no urge to go that fast on land.

 

supra went 227.8 on sunday.

 

Twin turbo 996 Evo 700 is a term to denote 700 crank horsepower.

 

im waiting to see a twin turbo C6 z06 take the first spot

 

I am running my IX Would be interested to see hom many EVO's are planning to run

 

I'm planning on running my evo. Should be at around 1000bhp...may turn it up more but we shall see.

 

Nice. 4 year old thread. Good work.
