OFFICIAL Texas Mile 300mph Ford GT March 2019 world record 

Exactly

He would have been happy

Imagine if he would have lived to see this, I have a hunch Ford would have a few more Le Mans up there sleeves.

It will go from 0-60 instantly, that's one thing for sure!

🙌🏽 dam right it can

@@ItalianMetalHED that was because it had crap aero that was lifting the back of the car at speed. They fixed it by changing the shape of the back of the car

@@ItalianMetalHED yeah no. The car had a top speed of about 209 and there's no way it could spin the tires bc of power at that speed. Also that's a movie. Details tend to get "embellished" in movies

EveryDay definitely is street legal

@@paulaford7690is correct. This car is heavily modified, but is still street legal.

@@havrik2101 incorrect. The last lap at LeMans in 65 a GT40 clocked 212mph on the famed Muslanne.

Oh yeaah

Absolutely

So true. There all smiles from Heaven. God bless them both. Amen

Even Henry Ford II would be happy. The entire Ford Family is happy.

God bless america

So would Lola

Damn i.said that it my head and I scroll down and you had it already!

If it was up to Henry.. we would all still be driving Model Ts...

nitrofumes2012 - ???

Andy Granatelli - It’s only an opinion. Think back a hundred years ago.. there were still lots of people riding horses and driving wagons into town for goods. Henry brought millions of these people into a more modern society and made their lives easier and made lots of money doing it. He was on top of the world. He had no visions of going 300 mph in a standing mile. Just as I have no idea what technology could be out there for massive acceleration for the next 100 years.

Hey...just noticed the picture next to your comments, nice cars! I own a 2006 Mustang Gt convertible with a procharger supercharger.

Before that the Gallardo TT dominated, and before that the Toyota supra dominated. Crazy world we live in. Makes me wonder what will step up next.

3dw3dw Corvette C8

@@3dw3dw those cars did not dominate before this car. The car that dominated before this car was car 414. A 4th generation F-body Camaro. It was after that car that others started catching up and had car 414 not wrecked and totaled. Who knows what it could've done. Especially considering that didn't use traction control or boost ramping on that car.

@@BrandonSL500 that is a real possibility, now that they've figured out where the engine goes. Personally I believe we are going to see the era of electric rise to the top really soon. Some are rolling 8 second quarter mile bone stock and new tech is making a charge toward the market place at an astonishing rate. It's going to be interesting and I look forward to seeing a V8 put up a stellar performance.

3 million.... actually. Lol.

@@Kevinintheback 80% of that goes straight to the emblem on the hood.

Europeans like to over complicate things.

Could probably tape up all the seams and get another 5 mph

Possibly because Europeans are more interested in cars that actually handle. I'm sure if Ferrari was remotely interested in shit like this "record" they'd do so.

The sound it made when it took off almost made me cum in my drawers!!

@reality check well no shit Sherlock it's a fucking car and that's a jet But he means the sound and how it flies down the runway like a jet would

reality check lmao you don’t have to know the person to know what they mean by the comment. You just have to have a little more brain cells than you do lol

@reality check dude are you for real? Stop defending your comment. Why don't you take the reality check these guys are serving you!! You're taking this way too seriously!! Relax friendo!!

What’s wonderful about aerodynamics is it scales pretty much perfectly until you hit about Mach 0.8 (a bit less than the speed of sound). What does change is how the car sits at different speeds and the change in airflow due to it. So it’s more a testament of how well the car is set up because the car has long been established as a good aero package.

And yes I realize this is a Ford Gt, not a Gt 40. But design wise they are basically carbon copy with the GT being larger in scale......

And it’s pretty

Gotta give credit to the designers for also making a car where the styling is just as timeless as the engineering.

Scott Mcgregor Well, the overall look of the car is basically the same the OG GT40, but it is NOT 60s aero. This GT has a floor pan and a splitter in the back, which is the main improvement that gives it less drag and more stability. The top of the car is also massively optimized.

Built FORD tough!!!

@@derrickclark5510 good thing there’s nothing from ford left!

@@THESLlCK the engine trans and body is ford soo... whats this left you speak of?

Yeah I'm sure this is monumental in purgatory...

Not according to Bugatti. They still claim they were the first production car to go 300mph. Even though it took them over 8 miles to get there and they did it 6 months AFTER the GT did. But hey once the lying media print it, it becomes THE TRUTH right? Just like in real life.

@@Miatacrosser dang bro you’re slow. Production car means production car, not modified down to the chassis. Stick with miatas buddy.

@@THESLlCK i could'nt have said it better.

Why would you wanna know about another mans balls?..You gay??

@@peanuttization Upyours trollboi.

@@markcayton6712 ..You'd probably like that GayBob….

@@peanuttization so what if he was. You a homophobe? 😆 lol!

@@Wildcard-11 ..Yeah...LMAO.....

Chiron now joins the club... Jesko will be next

@@MockingBrd. ya no... the Chiron had unlimited track. This is the standing mile. That prototype Chiron would be lucky to break the 250mph in the standing mile.

@@ImRichRu One 1lb of rock or 1lb of feather... Which is heavier? 300mph is 300mph. You sound silly man... I'm not even a Bugatti fan...

@@some_doofus The Chiron that went over 300 mph was far from a stock production car..... they even added 10" to the wheel base

@@MockingBrd. facebook.com/STAVTECH/videos/2220573234900384/

Completely different cars, and this one is modified too

@N P yeah we all know that. ... Thanks for sharing though. .👍

only good movie to come out of hollyweird in a long time too...

@@JC-gw3yo 👏👏👏👍🔥🤣😂 Nasty bastards.. Your right

Dave Danfelt 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it!

Randy Ballmes A Chevy will beat this record.

Dave Danfelt May be but the dodges have left the building with their tail between their legs!

@@craigscott5661 LMAO! No it has to power itself. Wake Up! Your Dreaming! Haa Haa!

@@craigscott5661 Oh Chevrolet Oh Chevrolet it needs a tow truck EVERYDAY! Your piece of SHIT it sits and RUST. It NEVER Runs when it MUST! Oh Chevrolet Oh Chevrolet it needs a tow truck EVERYDAY! Mr. Badwrench he up and quit. He WON’T WORK on your piece of SHIT. Oh Chevrolet Oh Chevrolet you need a tow truck every day. LMAO!

Tires become a serious issue at that point, they can survive 300mph for a few seconds but more than that?

Yeah, I'm with the others...It's not the car's power, aero or chassis that is the limiting factor...How many cars require tires to go that fast? None, until now. But, I''m sure they could have Michelin customize a tire for them...Michelin is really good at that, as we all know. But, maybe 325-330? That looks ludicrous just me writing it.

@@freedomrider266 look up the koenigsegg jesko, it has custom tires supposedly able to with stand 300mph+. Not sure for how long though.

@Real M This car is a race car with plates

@@CncObsession race cars have downforce. straight line machines don't.

That would require an actual F15 not a drone

Drones can't keep up with Ford GT's, just as the helicopters couldn't keep up with the Ford GT's in Lemans

I would say realistically 305-310.

@Valkyrie 007, my point remains...the Bugatti takes several miles on a closed loop to hit top speed. The GT hits it in one mile and is still accelerating. HARD.

@Valkyrie 007 the Bugatti is a second generation, untold millions in development, all wheel drive, more cylinders/turbos, traction control, et cetera. One has an entire factory and billions of dollars behind it, the other has a small team of people who love cars. Anyone can drive the Bugatti fast, only requirement is your bank balance. The Ford is a driver’s car, one needs SKILL to drive this car. The Bugatti is at its top speed, the Ford is not. To me, what the GT team did is far more impressive, because the Bugatti team built upon the more than a decade of factory work developing the Veyron and then learning from it. Multimillion dollar sales tag, and plenty of return from those customers (paid off much of the R&D/tooling costs). The bias you exhibit is apparent to all but yourself. Have a nice day.

@Valkyrie's 007 Ignore him. he can't get it through his head that the GT is tuned to hell and back whilst the Bugatti is a standard road car. He's too thick to know that any car could be tuned to 2700bhp like this GT if the budget was thrown at it

I think that had an idea... As did Old Shelby

I understood that reference.

DB

"Not bad, Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+...you made me use 10% of my horsepower."

@@royal_kim1154 ford laughs in world record 😂

@@royal_kim1154 can't do 300mph over the standing mile.

I disagree.. It is just one of many Ford has built and will continue to build... Haha

@@JC-gw3yo what's the big deal? You have a right to disagree with my opinion, with your own opinion. That is how we roll.

And millions of other Americans

I would have pulled that chute around 225mph just after I crapped my pants. Haha

145 mph in second gear: enough said...

Heaven....

Second this!

The newest one has what even European guys (and you know how they HATE to give credit to US cars) say may be the best chassis ever assembled, IN ANY CAR EVER. I don't doubt it.

I believe it now.

@@freedomrider266 You do realise that both the Mustang (2015-onwards) and the new Ford GT were designed by Chris Svensson- A British designer. He designed the chassis, thats why it is good. I would say calling in the best chassis is too much.

@@TheRealBleach A very talented designer, life-long Ford man. So sad he passed. May he rest in peace.

agreed.

Backfires of fuck yeah!!!!!!

Bobby Brummett not with that attitude. Just as this dude believed he could break the 300 mph barrier so must you. Look forward to your post of you purchasing your dream car, the Ford GT.

@@Hammerdak what FIA? This is the Texas Mile. It's not Bonneville. They aren't setting any land speed records. This is for production street legal cars to see how fast they can go from a standing start to one mile. If there's a tail wind then everyone has a tail wind that day. You're mixing up what's taking place here.

@@Hammerdak Heyasshole, what evidence can you show us that there was a 50mph goddamn wind behind them? I'm looking at the women's hair in the celebration immediately afterwards and there's nothing more than a slight variable breeze out there. So stuff a sock in it, you fcukingtrollboi.

@@aliceshaw8265 he did have a point. The problem was the original comment. By bringing up claims about absolute top speed you gotta wonder. Its clear he was wrong about a 50mph tailwind.

@@Hammerdak They enjoyed a 10-15 mph tailwind by the looks of people's shirts and those flags. a fact that doesn't mean much when you're 41 inches off the ground and cutting air at 300mph. one look at the accelleration curve should tell you this car has enough motor to do 320.

Richard Rudolph 1/2 mile was 240 I believe

Zé Purguento tires wouldn’t be able to handle over 300mph for a few seconds

@@xikiwxzrix6188 If it reaches that speed in less than 2 1/2 miles, the tires may resist...

xI kiwxzr Ix it’s much less weight than your typical hyper car. So the tires won’t have as much force to deal with in that regard.

@@xikiwxzrix6188 What do the Salt Flats racers use for tires?

And I believe the engine is only 5.8 liters (351 CID)

I bet the Ford GT was more power than the P51 too... mind boggling

Poor Chevy guys.. Always behind and sucking the government teat

It is...

@BTICronox I used to work as a technician for Ford and we would get 10 year-old Ford GT's come in for routine maintenance that has had nothing go wrong with them...

How reliable is it?? That’s your argument? It’s not an every day driver, reliability isn’t a major concern here bud... it’s just did 300 mph, get over yourself

@BTICronox You're right, they don't. The most I have worked on was only 1000. Hennessey GT1000.

@BTICronox The amount of money those Bugatti's cost, the Ford GT can break down and need a new motor 10 times and it'll still be cheaper, lol. I'm actually being fairly conservative, it's more like you can replace the entire drivetrain 10 times or more...

@BTICronox And where are these reliability statistics? How many Bugatti's have been driven to hundreds of thousands of miles without a motor or transmission rebuild? You do realize that most of these exotic European super cars are not reliable cars right? You're not paying for the car, you're paying for the brand and the status symbols that they are. For 2 million dollars without the fancy name you can definitely build a faster car that can be driven on the road daily without issues.

I bet the Ford GT could add 50 MPH to the Nevada record

who knows really. 2500-3000hp is a lot, these speeds can be achieved with far less, albeit not in a mile of road. to do this in a mile of road probably needs every ounce of 2500hp.

Right you are. The 1960's GT's were very good, but if you check the I net, Ford spent a lot of time on areo with this version and they got it right... Man they got it right

the movie back to the future needed a Fort GT

Kuti Dude, a jet is meant to fly so I’d hope it takes off much slower than that

There's a phenomenon called "Downforce" in aerodynamics. Maybe give it a read? Lol.

@@Toxic88088 earth is flat stupid theres no such thing
