There were some earlier test runs where they simply ran out of track without ever reaching a top speed with this car (265 mph I think it was, in that run). I'm glad they found a longer track. Watching the video, I don't know that this was the "top speed" necessarily, as he seemed to hit 270 and let right off the throttle. Perhaps they ran out of track again? Or decided to cut it at 270? Or, maybe that really is the "top speed" of the car.

Pretty amazing. I think they're $1mil, last I'd looked into them.

That's not so fast. I had a Chevy once that was so quick that the headlights would only shine about six inches in front.

I think BAD GT approached 284 standing mile.A modified Ford. A modified very cool Ford that was in the showrooms a while back.I do not know how streetable it is compared to this car.Rumors of another Ford coming but I doubt it.They did have a 3 turbo I think V-12 car that was built from the ground up to be a production car that used Jag 220 parts so it could happen.

All I can say, never watch that video with your hearing aids.
