Is this it?

I was wondering when something faster than the Ultimate Aero would come out. Of course, the question now is how long will it stay fastest. All turbo cars too =)

Yea thats the evil genius! Now just imagine what he will do with a car that weighs 2750 instead of 3650. I have no doubt if he says it'll do 270-275MPH he'll reach his goals. Heres a link to the Hennessey web sight.

I'd say keeping the car from going airborne will be just as/harder than making enough power.

exactly beyond a certain point you are dealing more with aero and tires rather than power to keep it on the road at those speeds.

And will anyone have the ***** to take to 272? Also in losing to a 4 cylinder OP you have brought shame to the Mustang Community! So you deserve this.

I'm talking about ricers, body kits and wings, not 4 cylinders in particular. I've ridden in a few Honda beast, K and H swaps and trust me you better have some heat if you're gonna take them on, the SVO is a different beast though, light and quick I rather use it as a road course car.
