Whats the mile record ford GT run in the 1/2?
~205
It's been a few years, and prior to the current tuner, but I think it's actually done 238 in the half.
Not really a direct comparison anyhow. They use boost by gear to really neuter it until 4th and 5th.
They haven't been anywhere close to 220mph in the 1/2 mile let alone 238mph. Here is the mph split from their record run in April.
157.5mph in 1/4 mile
207.3mph in 1/2 mile
279.9mph in 1 mile
As a side note all of the big time players at the 1/2 mile use boost by gear. UGR has it setup on their Motec as does Heffner and Dallas Performance.
UGR sure knows how to do it.
As I said, it was several years ago. 218 is the correct number, I fixed the post. Feel free to go back to 2012 or so and you'll see I'm correct.
I appreciate you posting the April stats, but they've gone faster than 279, too; and the truth is, that car now goes faster in the mile and slower in the half.
On edit, 218.5 October 2014
Well even with the edit 218mph is light years slower than 240mph when you're talking about just 1/2 mile. Not taking away from anything, but numbers are numbers.
What did they run since then? 279.9 seems to be the fastest I can find.
HaHa! Not hating on UGR talent, Just the CHEESEBALLNESS!:-D
Arkansas Mile. Check the M2K Fb page.
I posted to clarify the ~205 response, the GT has gone quite a bit faster and could certainly post a higher number, but mile racing commands a different strategy.
