Worlds Fastest Standing Mile (Miami)

I took this from another forum...enjoy. Keep watching and you'll see 4-car side-by-side mile races.

A nice vid of the Miami Mile http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NAvWbv5-Vs&NR=1



World record vid...note how amazing the acceleration at peak spool.

The event was held at a private airport (Dade-Cllier)

The car runs around 10.5:1CR, boost spikes to around 37psi, twin precision turbo 75mm turbo's AND 100hp jetted shot of gass. The car struggles for traction at 200mph.

The first clean pass for the day resulted in 232mph.

Then an hour later, with no set up changes other than activating the nitrous the car ran 253mph

Great video of the Miami Mile. Why on Earth the SL63 have his top down, though?

My hat is off to them, that obviously is a well built machine, breaking 250mph is no easy feat, not just power wise, but aerodynamics and keeping the car planted at that speed!! Great job !

I'm glad they found a good use for the TNT runway in the Everglades. I was great for doing touch and gos on.
