Just saw one new E63 Bi turbo with a renntech tune on it and he was running a healthy 170-172 mph in windy, hot and humid weather. We used to see 6 to 8 Mercedes there but just one this year. The large group of V12 AMG`s have also not shown up in a while.



It would not be a Texas mile, unless you have a cowboy pushing a 700 hp plus CTSV to the line (it ran 187 mph).



Looked like a stock Aventador and he was running 185 mph range. His lic plate said 220 but that was said to be his max top speed over XX miles.



Twin turbo Ford GT running 209 mph range. Ford GT holds the 278 mph record at this track.


Hennessay C7 vet with supercharger but heard the times were under 160 when I asked . He may have ran faster later on.



201 MPH CTSV Caddy and this is where our AMG 55`s should at least be by now

Awesome. A friend of mine was out there running his wife's black CTS-V sedan, but I haven't heard back how he did.

I saw that porsche and it was nice to see a 911 going 227 mph! There were not many record settign cars out this event and it may have had to do with the weather. Now that they moved the evetn to Beeville TX, there are a lot more hotels and eateries near the track.


Did not see many GTR`s out either but with Titan motorsports working on a Billet block for them, they may be able to start pushing 2500 hp into the GTR`s soon

I think he meant the guy missed 3rd, but still ran fastest @ 227

oh LOL that makes sense...

I was thinking he had some type of 1.6 rear-gear ratio or something and needed a push off the line...
