Ford GT pushing 2,000+ hp does 294 mph... most probably a land speed record for a modified ICE car in a production body with road tires.

Insane speed. 300 mph is not far away! Probably within a couple of years.

Goddamn that looks nuts. For a fun contrast, my fast lap from a few years ago in my Lemons car at a track day (this was a 1:54, I ran a 1:49 at the race there earlier this year):

^^ Hahah, yeah, speedo makes it look a lot quicker than it is. It's fast for a nominally $500 LeMons car...probably around 200whp and 3,000 lbs with driver and fuel (all 22 gallons of it heh).

That's cool, but isn't that going to leave water stains? Where are the tiny headlight wipers!

As cool as that is, I had no idea that Mercs have had that for a long time apparently, see this E-Class from early 00s:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvxfgJqeDZQ

Did you guys know about it? I grew up seeing S-Classes in the 80s and 90s and they all had exposed nozzles to shoot the water and cute tiny wipers on the headlights, which I always found very mesmerizing!

Then one day when a certain new generation came, they disappeared and I lamented the loss LOL. Little did I know that they had introduced the new style ones but without wipers. Now that I think about it, I have always wondered what those little triangular-ish body panels are just under the headlights on many luxury cars.

6/11/2017 7:58:09 PM

Many cars have had them, my 2003 911 has it as well... Not uncommon!

6/12/2017 3:57:39 PM

To me, they don't seem all that effective, to me.

One of my best laps from VIR back on the 18-19th: https://youtu.be/hckplo8y8nM

Take pity on my (early) braking as I'm trying to work on my heel-toe downshifting, which is atrocious.

I braked for the climbing esses and didn't accelerate super hard on the front straight because the semi-worn suspension was getting way too floaty in both scenarios.

11/27/2017 9:33:43 AM

heel-toe practice? that's what the streets are for

but yes, that 5-3 shift at the end of the straight

[Edited on November 27, 2017 at 10:03 AM. Reason : ]

11/27/2017 10:01:42 AM

nice! Glad you had a blast and made it out and back without any issues

11/27/2017 12:14:55 PM

^^heel-toe works best when you're pushing on the brake pedal at 50% or greater effort. On public roads that never happens except in an emergency. So...yeah.

11/29/2017 7:43:45 AM

I had an instructor; one of the best I've ever had I think. Where did you think I was being soft on the throttle? Coming out of some turns I'm a gear high (3rd instead of 2nd) so that could give the impression I'm not too hard on the throttle due to the visible engine speed. I also know I could be faster through turn 10, but take pity on me because the last time I was at VIR I balled up my car at that turn...
