Any here ever drive their GT 500 in the Texas mile? Any one going for 2010. What mods are needed to hit 200mph.

Give Van a call @ Revan Racing. I think he should be able to send you in the right direction.
Saw your thread about the M6. Those guys are the biggest arrogant aholes.
I'd pay to see you drag one down the road.

hennessey(unfortunatly) hit 200MPH in a GT500. pretty sure it was twin screw.
I'm sure that was damn close to 1,000 RWHP!! :-D
Yeah I was just telling them something kind of funny and they got all huffy. Bunch of elitist snobs.:lol1: My be some will show at the Texas mile.:lol:
i have and i will be heading home for the event. the guys that hit the 200 mark last year did it with a hefty tail wind.
i only ran twice in october, shake down to work the butterflies out yielded 175 mph. the second run i decided to lay into it and the event as follows, see 3/4 mark; hear loud pop; lift and still crossed the mile at 163, coasting a 1/4 mile.
after last oct i am now hooked and this car is now dedicated to it. in current form there is no doubt i can hit the 200 mark, attempting again next month but the only bad thing is that the safety standard for 190+ is a cage and suit, if you break out then you are booted and removed from the system so there is not any proof of the run.
next oct the car will be in big twin form minus the blower shooting for 220+, god i am in love with this type of run..lol..

I would also get 1, maybe 2 sets of hood pins too.
actually getting these! i will try to get a picture of the hood travel from oct, it was painfully unsettling:nonono:

If cage is required at 190+ how did my freinds TT Gallardo get way with out one?
:shrug:
because he is rich! i do not know the construction of that car but like the ford gt, it may not require all of the safety features:shrug:
and maybe because he is rich

Patrick from PSI motorsport did it. Not sure about all of the mods but i know the car have a 3.4.
Some of the cars received special waivers that allow them to run without certain safety equipment. I would assume it takes $$$$ to get that done though.
Thought this was an interesting picture of a KB GT500's engine letting go . Not sure if the hood liftinh is from the engine blowing up, or the wind. From what I've been able to gather, it went 197 @ 22#. It let go @ 24#. Maybe the owner is on here and will chime in.

You can definitely do it wth less than 1000rw

Nope less then 800rwhp with a whipple has gone 200 in the mile. patrick from Psi did it.
A ford gt with a 1000rhwp will go 228. but they are 800lbs less weight.
Are there cages that can be installed then easily removed after the event.
Was that with a tail wind?
The Ford GT is a HELL of a lot more aerodynamic than a Shelby.
Good luck man! :rockon:
What tires were you running?
