Seen at the local car show....

'New' Corvette.. 'Old' GT40...
I'm sure the driving experience is: 'Chalk and cheese', but on styling and presence who'd have put sixty years between these two??

The ford GT 40 is a stunning car from any angle

Couldn't agree more, Baz... Mind you, was looking up performance figures on the Vette, the 'Hybrid' model shows 0-60 in under 1.9 seconds!!!!!

The fastest pass by a Ford GT at the Texas Mile reached a top speed of 300.4 miles per hour.

Record Details

• 
  
• • Car: 2006 Ford GT modified by M2K Motorsports.
  • Speed: 300.4 mph.
  • Date: March 2019.
  • Location: Victoria Regional Airport in Victoria, Texas.
  • Backup Run: The car also backed up the performance with a 299.2 mph run on the same day.
  I used to work that meet every October and most times in March as well. Amazing cars, bikes, and trucks run there.

I actually thought it was the Hennessey cammo-colored one that had the record...

That is an amazing speed for a 4 wheeler. From my days running the standing start miles on my turbo Hayabusa we would occasionally include some ‘fast’ 4 wheelers. None was ever able to crack 200mph, with the sole exception of a full race Dodge Viper that managed it - just! That was getting on for 20 years ago, it shows what progress has been made since them. Not including 2 wheelers where 300 still remains unbeaten with the sole exception of Bill Warner ( RIP ) and his 3 records again were nigh on 20 years ago.
