Standing mile with 21 Shelby GT500. 200 mph.

Speeedo is off due to taller tires in the rear. Finally got 200 in the mile!

Very cool.

 

[ArabianOak]

does it show your half mile speed? Curious what that was. What a rush!

Pretty cool.

Negative. No clue. I ran the 1.5 mile before on 2 separate occasions. Both times I gained 11 mph. Previous day, after changing tune there was a few hiccups between 1-2 and 2-3. Ran 194 in mile and 205 in 1.5 mile. Previous year. 191 mile and 202 in 1.5 mile. I guess I would have ran 211 mph in the 1.5 on this run, but it is hard on the brakes, and I discolored my rotors last year, due to no chute and having to slow down pretty quickly. I actually replaced my rotors at the tune of $850 this year because of my OCD. I did not want to waist the $850 just to run 211ish. lol I would have loved to have the paper to prove it, but not the discolored brake rotors.

Na. Like going to get groceries. Lol

That must have been tons of fun. That's the old Loring Air Force Base, right?

It sure is. 2 events a year. Good fun.

How much power would it have taken the Trinity GT500 to do this in the mile?

 

[kcobra]

My last 750 RWHP 14 GT500 hit 187 in the mile.

Do discolored brake rotors compromise the integrity of the rotor? Seems like it’s a cool badge of the car actually puts in work if you know what I mean.

No. The rotors are still straight and true. Just color spots.

I was able to do 175 in a stock Ford GT (no pully or tune, and I think was the fastest stock GT) at the Texas Mile a while ago. Hitting 200 in bigger, heavier, less aerodynamic Mustang is a good accomplishment. Well done.

 

[kcobra]

Thank you. The same day I ran 200, a 2006 Ford GT with a Whipple, 91 tuned, from Nova Scotia, ran 184. I am sure with a proper tune, that is a 200 mph car also

 

[specracer]

That 1000% should have hit 200. Maybe bad launch, poor traction (tires), or slow shifting are to blame.

 

[kcobra]

I think the heat and tune were to blame. The guy was shifting decently. I bet it barely has any timing in it because of 91 tune for Canada
