Bill Estep JrNov 02, 2012 I wonder If he used the bathroom before he did this
Greg LewisNov 01, 2012 And ford, have you taken notice that these cars are still boss of the roads? With slightly outdated engines? Get those bad boys back into production! Give the viper some tail lights to focus on
Elijah Chet RoseberryNov 01, 2012 Omg! What a jump! There has never been a mph jump this substantial ever!
Harrison ArmstrongNov 01, 2012 Nobody is going to tune a Veyron. What would you even do to it? Add another turbo? I'd take the Veyron, sell it, and then buy the Ford GT with a ton of extra cash left over.
Maynor PinedaNov 01, 2012 I cant believe its street legal!!!!!
Tyler TarboxNov 01, 2012 @Jacob. An over priced Beetle? Really? Uh no not even close. I'm not a huge fan of the Veyron either but there is no doubt that it is an engineering masterpiece. And it's certainly not over priced. In fact they lose money on each one they sell.
Nodnarb YdilNov 01, 2012 The Veyron takes three times the amount of road to reach a lower speed. The Veyron also had/has the backing of a multi-billion dollar conpany(VWAG) to reach such achievements. I think these guys are making great progress with this GT
Dillon DixonNov 01, 2012 One of the most deserving cars to hold the record!

Erik SchererNov 06, 2012 I'm sure Bugatti will come out with yet another version of the Veyron now!
Abdelrahman AliNov 05, 2012 @ Darian Vorlick
Exactly. Well said.
Darian VorlickNov 01, 2012 2000 bhp probably won't accelerate that Lambo to 300. Keep in mind the faster you want to go, the horsepower requirement exponentially increases. It's not a linear progression.
Nodnarb YdilNov 01, 2012 William is right I'm afraid. As bad ass as that murcielago would have been, it probably won't happen. 2000hp ain't gonna get you to 300mph if you don't have the right tires either
William DownsNov 01, 2012 U mean that car that they claimed 2000hp on that they never started, same one that claims they can reach 330mph, been almost a month later and still no dyno sheet, was just a guy with money stroking his ego
Carlos Ernesto GarciaNov 01, 2012 I think the twin turbo murcielago SV with 2000 WHEEL HP will do it if they try
Garrett KellerNov 01, 2012 So a 30 mph increase from their last record? That's crazy fast. Wonder if they'll be the first to do 300
Jorge GonzalezNov 02, 2012 Yea it's pretty bomb I don't think anyone who knows about it would doubt it.
William DownsNov 01, 2012 I'm with Patrick the c6rs is what a corvette should be, lighter,gobs of N/A power, and an amazing interior, plus that engine sounds rediculious
Patrick SchalkNov 01, 2012 The P&M C6RS is at the very top of my dream car list. That car is absolutely a super car. And 8.1L V8?! Sign me up!!!
Jorge GonzalezNov 01, 2012 Can the Pratt & Miller vette be considered a supercar?
Tyler TarboxNov 01, 2012 @Nick. The Z06 and ZR1 corvettes are definitely supercars. Also could even say the Grand Sport but maybe not. People argue that no Vette can be a super car because it's "just a corvette" but honestly if Chevy killed the base model no one would say it
Jacob Viiper McCordNov 01, 2012 The GT500 is the car to compete now. Bring back the GT!
Aaron CrispNov 01, 2012 Lets not start this guys, but Ford should bring the GT back to compete with the ZR1 and Viper! 'Merica!
Edgar JaureguiNov 01, 2012 I think the ZR1 should be considered a supercar...
Nick BenzNov 01, 2012 I wouldnt call the corvette a supercar
Tyler TarboxNov 01, 2012 @David. I agree. Ford is now the only American car company that doesn't build a supercar.
David JusticeNov 01, 2012 Ford needs to bring this back so we can see this matchup again, and against the Viper as well.
Tyler TarboxNov 01, 2012 Two of the sweetest cars ever made right there
Colby ChurchNov 01, 2012 I wish mine were that fast... Lol
Dylan BruderNov 01, 2012 I would have to agree the vette more for me not necessarily this one but in general
MissLaura AnneNov 02, 2012 And Matt R- you came out the best and sounding mature, don't worry about these guys!
MissLaura AnneNov 02, 2012 Who cares about being able to 'maybe' handle it?! It's a sick fast sexy car with kick ass hp. AND street legal. There should be celebrating after hearing this!
Aaron CrispNov 02, 2012 You're wealthy, drive a Porsche AND from Jersey?! Wow when did you sign up for Jersey Shore.
William SmithNov 01, 2012 And P.S.
Guys stop feeding the Trolls
William SmithNov 01, 2012 Fantastic car period. As for Matt R, keep on trolling man, you've more than proven you drive a Porsche have wealthy parents and are a total asshat...... Keep up the attitude maybe someday someone will love you for more than your money.
Tyler TarboxNov 01, 2012 People who say this is a useless car are completely ignorant
Michael DavidsonNov 01, 2012 And I'm sure it's not set up to put down 1700hp when on the streets. They probably turn the boost wayyyyy down.
Matt RocaNov 01, 2012 Damn lmfao you guys take stuff really seriously on here. But i will say my sorry if i upset anyone but with my first coment just remember its my opinion and we all have one
Patrick SchalkNov 01, 2012 Matt, that's great you do that. But they did not ruin this car. It set a world record. That ludicrous to say this is ruined.
Matt RocaNov 01, 2012 Feel free to call bs i come from a wealthy family and my father has a great job. I no what i do and im damn good at it. Its not like i travel the world i stay in my state JERSEY. So im going go worry about bigger problems like the tree on my house
Wyatt ClarkNov 01, 2012 All of you who critsize and say "who needs all that power as a dd" - Your all idiots. You do realize that "street legal" and "daily driver" are completely seperate things. Just because it's "street legal" doesnt make it a dd.
Jorge GonzalezNov 01, 2012 No car will make 1500 hp at 2000 rpm which is the powerband you'd drive at in the city so why is it pointless? You don't use the power all the time.
Tyler TarboxNov 01, 2012 But hey when I was your age I would brag to people about the sweet cars my dad had. But as I got older I realized two things: 1) It just makes you look like an ass. 2) There is always someone out there with more money and nicer things
Tyler TarboxNov 01, 2012 @Matt R. No one is impressed
Reese FenskeNov 01, 2012 oh come on. it's street legal just drive the damn thing
Aaron CordrochNov 01, 2012 Porsche 944? I can get one on Craigslist right now for 3 grand... When you get older you'll realize only douche bags use cars to validate themselves. As for ruining the car... He made it set a world record. What have you done?
Aaron CrispNov 01, 2012 Matt and Matt sitting in a tree...
Matt PiccoloNov 01, 2012 On the other hand though, Matt, really? I call BS that u drive a Porsche @ 15... Mainly bec u don't have a license
Matt PiccoloNov 01, 2012 I kinda agree with Matt, as a daily driver a 1500hp anything is a bit ridiculous... Not saying u couldn't use it as a DD but it's kinda pointless
Matt RocaNov 01, 2012 Its funny how you all gang up on me when none of you can handle the car and dont say you do bc im 15 and i race porsches with SCCA so shut up. Your right i cant handle that much horse power but at least at 15 i no what im doing and drive a porsche
Colby ChurchNov 01, 2012 Oh yeah Matt? Then why is the worlds fastest street legal car (1963 Corvette 2200bhp) also the guys daily driver? He handles that power all day long. Just because you couldn't, don't make assumptions about other people's skills.
William DownsNov 01, 2012 Matt just cause u don't know how to drive doesn't mean the car is useless, people have 1000+ HP cars as daily drivers, should keep your mouth shut about what u don't know, keeps u from looking stupid
Blaise HarnedNov 01, 2012 Ya walker, Matt doesn't really know what he's talking about
Walker CarrollNov 01, 2012 It's called being very gentle with the throttle
Matt RocaNov 01, 2012 They ruined the car. No person can handle 1700 hp on the street. All they can use it for is to drive straight. No point to it at all really nothing to be proud of here
Shelby CassandraNov 01, 2012 If this is street legal then why are they pulling it with a quad?
omarSVNov 03, 2012 this is so far away from a normal ford gt it has more in common with a dragster lol. how crazy does that rear end look with those etc exhausts etc, thats what makes a veyron ss so cool, is that it does 260mph+ but doesnt look so unfinished from the outside. Amazing achievement anyway. :)
Michael DavidsonNov 01, 2012 Holy crap!!! Yeah definitely at least a 315.
Patrick SchalkNov 01, 2012 I'm gonna guess these are 315s
Eat that, Bugatti! I think McLaren just gave that Ford a high five.
I wonder If he used the bathroom before he did this
And ford, have you taken notice that these cars are still boss of the roads? With slightly outdated engines? Get those bad boys back into production! Give the viper some tail lights to focus on
Omg! What a jump! There has never been a mph jump this substantial ever!

@ Paul, I ain't lol
Gayron SS is a overrated overpriced Beetle. The GT is a one of a kind car.
Don't kid yourself Matt.
Just saying, the Veyron looks way better than this lol but I do love the gt!! :)
Yeah haha how much more are you going to tune the veyron? It's pretty complicated enough haha.
The Vayron is already tuned to perfection, but the Ford GT can still do better.
Ahh i love seeing this
Screw the Gayron SS.
And the Veyron SS costs 10 times more
Hell to the yes!!
WHY NO VIDEO?!?!!!?!?
But a veyron couldnt look as good doin it.
Holy shit! That is crazy fast!
Tune up a veyron ss and it would beat that record
Damn. Congrats. That's awesome.
That is crazy fast for one mile!
283mph?...dayum!
Greatest car ever. They need a video
I wanna go for a ride in that thing
My favorite car in the world!<3
So there's no video??:/
Go Ford GT! Such a great car :3
