Doubtful. Ray Hoffman's dyno'd 2200 before the questionable testing at the Miami Mile and put down 267 mph. I'd say this car is ab 1800

The equipment was finicky so this run was a wash.

Ray's GT was certainly capable of running 266 mph. What became suspect on the Florida mile event was the distance. He probably ran the number but did it somewhere past 5280 ft. Ray also ran 249.9 mph at the Texas Mile a few years ago. So the car is super fast any way you cut it.

Can we get a showdown please!?
Hennessey vs Heffner vs Underground Racing
Each build your "production" GT1000 and race them on the standing mile. Same tires.
