Get off the highway and come out to The Mile. It is like running on a straight 1 1/2 mile section of open highway without the fear of tickets and jail time. A High Speed Shoot-out and Land Speed Racing Venue that compares to the likes of the legendary Bonneville that beckons one to "Drive in Your World, Race in Ours"!
Ken Miles said “it can go faster” , he was right !
Exactly
He would have been happy
Imagine if he would have lived to see this, I have a hunch Ford would have a few more Le Mans up there sleeves.
It will go from 0-60 instantly, that's one thing for sure!
🙌🏽 dam right it can
A street legal car, no extra aero bits, tons of power and boost, and it eclipsed the 300mph mark. What. A. Machine. God do I love cars lol
@@ItalianMetalHED that was because it had crap aero that was lifting the back of the car at speed. They fixed it by changing the shape of the back of the car
@@ItalianMetalHED yeah no. The car had a top speed of about 209 and there's no way it could spin the tires bc of power at that speed. Also that's a movie. Details tend to get "embellished" in movies
EveryDay definitely is street legal
@@paulaford7690is correct. This car is heavily modified, but is still street legal.
@@havrik2101 incorrect. The last lap at LeMans in 65 a GT40 clocked 212mph on the famed Muslanne.
Shifting into fourth gear at 191 mph 😂 love it!!!
Carrol Shelby and Ken Miles like this from heaven!
Oh yeaah
Absolutely
So true. There all smiles from Heaven. God bless them both. Amen
Even Henry Ford II would be happy. The entire Ford Family is happy.
God bless america
Henry Ford would have been proud
So would Lola
Damn i.said that it my head and I scroll down and you had it already!
If it was up to Henry.. we would all still be driving Model Ts...
nitrofumes2012 - ???
Andy Granatelli - It’s only an opinion. Think back a hundred years ago.. there were still lots of people riding horses and driving wagons into town for goods. Henry brought millions of these people into a more modern society and made their lives easier and made lots of money doing it. He was on top of the world. He had no visions of going 300 mph in a standing mile. Just as I have no idea what technology could be out there for massive acceleration for the next 100 years.
I’ve been going to the Texas mile since 2012 and the Ford GT has dominated this event, others have tried but the Ford GT has DOMINATED!!! 💥💥👍🏽👍🏽
Hey...just noticed the picture next to your comments, nice cars! I own a 2006 Mustang Gt convertible with a procharger supercharger.
Before that the Gallardo TT dominated, and before that the Toyota supra dominated. Crazy world we live in. Makes me wonder what will step up next.
3dw3dw Corvette C8
@@3dw3dw those cars did not dominate before this car. The car that dominated before this car was car 414. A 4th generation F-body Camaro. It was after that car that others started catching up and had car 414 not wrecked and totaled. Who knows what it could've done. Especially considering that didn't use traction control or boost ramping on that car.
@@BrandonSL500 that is a real possibility, now that they've figured out where the engine goes. Personally I believe we are going to see the era of electric rise to the top really soon. Some are rolling 8 second quarter mile bone stock and new tech is making a charge toward the market place at an astonishing rate. It's going to be interesting and I look forward to seeing a V8 put up a stellar performance.
"If you want to go 270mph, you need to spend a million dollars on an European car with 16 cylinders and tons of electronics and complex cooling systems."
Ford with a V8: "Hold my previous world record trophy."
3 million.... actually. Lol.
@@Kevinintheback 80% of that goes straight to the emblem on the hood.
Europeans like to over complicate things.
Could probably tape up all the seams and get another 5 mph
Possibly because Europeans are more interested in cars that actually handle. I'm sure if Ferrari was remotely interested in shit like this "record" they'd do so.
I'm impressed by the aerodynamics of the GT on it's own.
The owners sheer emotion man. That man lives cars. That man loves his team. More race owners should follow his lead.
3:13
Straight up, that's a fighter jet. Like, seriously, this is insane.
The sound it made when it took off almost made me cum in my drawers!!
@reality check well no shit Sherlock it's a fucking car and that's a jet
But he means the sound and how it flies down the runway like a jet would
reality check lmao you don’t have to know the person to know what they mean by the comment. You just have to have a little more brain cells than you do lol
@reality check dude are you for real? Stop defending your comment. Why don't you take the reality check these guys are serving you!! You're taking this way too seriously!! Relax friendo!!
Its why I love Ford and that car!! to think areo from the 60.s, no big splitters, wings or active crap. pure in design, good for 300 plus. hats off Ford engineers for producing a timeless perfectly designed car that will last forever!!!!
What’s wonderful about aerodynamics is it scales pretty much perfectly until you hit about Mach 0.8 (a bit less than the speed of sound). What does change is how the car sits at different speeds and the change in airflow due to it. So it’s more a testament of how well the car is set up because the car has long been established as a good aero package.
And yes I realize this is a Ford Gt, not a Gt 40. But design wise they are basically carbon copy with the GT being larger in scale......
And it’s pretty
Gotta give credit to the designers for also making a car where the styling is just as timeless as the engineering.
Scott Mcgregor Well, the overall look of the car is basically the same the OG GT40, but it is NOT 60s aero. This GT has a floor pan and a splitter in the back, which is the main improvement that gives it less drag and more stability. The top of the car is also massively optimized.
I don't care what you put on your parts but going at 300 mph is incredibly insane. The GT is truly a majestic.
Love FORDS period.... Congrats
Built FORD tough!!!
@@derrickclark5510 good thing there’s nothing from ford left!
@@THESLlCK the engine trans and body is ford soo... whats this left you speak of?
I'm a big ford guy!!
I'm sure this was like seeing your kid for the first time!! Congratulations ford team!!😎💪🖒✌🇺🇸
Henry Ford and Carroll Shelby fist bumped after that run.
Yeah I'm sure this is monumental in purgatory...
Wow.
That’s generally a gt40 shape.
Amazing that same design is so perfect.
Like a shark.
Timeless.
And will kill for many millennia!!!
WOW! Congratulations M2K Motorsports Team!
That Ford GT and its team did it FIRST!
Not according to Bugatti. They still claim they were the first production car to go 300mph. Even though it took them over 8 miles to get there and they did it 6 months AFTER the GT did. But hey once the lying media print it, it becomes THE TRUTH right? Just like in real life.
@@Miatacrosser dang bro you’re slow. Production car means production car, not modified down to the chassis. Stick with miatas buddy.
@@THESLlCK i could'nt have said it better.
Wonder how much horsepower is lost due to the weight of the drivers huge balls. This is insane.
Congrats to all, that's one hell of an accomplishment
Why would you wanna know about another mans balls?..You gay??
@@peanuttization Upyours trollboi.
@@markcayton6712 ..You'd probably like that GayBob….
@@peanuttization so what if he was. You a homophobe? 😆 lol!
@@Wildcard-11 ..Yeah...LMAO.....
Congratulations to the Ford GT team,& all the engineers that made it happen!! One outstanding achievement,makes my day!!
It's righteous to see a car go this fast. Good filming. It's better than watching a car race. I love straight out speed. The driver did well too. Thanks for the show.
Awesome car!
Would love to see a 500mile race where they used a 20 mile section of a divided highway.
2 - 20 mile straightaways and 2 turns!
How does it feel to be sporting the only 300mph club t shirt?
For all you who think Bugatti chiron is officially faster, this is what it does in a standing mile for comparison.
ua-cam.com/video/RfGfGwIFYqk/v-deo.html
227mph and that is OFFICIAL!
Chiron now joins the club... Jesko will be next
@@MockingBrd. ya no... the Chiron had unlimited track. This is the standing mile. That prototype Chiron would be lucky to break the 250mph in the standing mile.
@@ImRichRu One 1lb of rock or 1lb of feather... Which is heavier? 300mph is 300mph. You sound silly man... I'm not even a Bugatti fan...
@@some_doofus The Chiron that went over 300 mph was far from a stock production car..... they even added 10" to the wheel base
@@MockingBrd. facebook.com/STAVTECH/videos/2220573234900384/
Quite possibly the best sounding car at full-tilt that has ever been recorded......literally the best. Period. Amazing job guys 🍾🏆🥇🎊💯
These guys broke the mile record and was like turn the boost up we can do better lol
FORD!! FLEXING THERE💪💪💪🇺🇸
Good thing they made a movie and it will come out soon. To show the heart and spirit and balls of Ford in it's legendary GT40!
Completely different cars, and this one is modified too
@N P yeah we all know that. ...
Thanks for sharing though. .👍
only good movie to come out of hollyweird in a long time too...
@@JC-gw3yo 👏👏👏👍🔥🤣😂
Nasty bastards..
Your right
Nearly made me shed a tear. What a machine.
I AM NOT a ford fan by any means. But with that said.....DAAAAAAMMMNN!! very very impressive work gentleman and congratulations. Mad respect to all of you and ford for that extremely impressive achievement 👍👍👍👍👍👍
No Chevys were hurt during The Texas Mile. Only their Feelings LOL!
Dave Danfelt 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it!
Randy Ballmes A Chevy will beat this record.
Dave Danfelt May be but the dodges have left the building with their tail between their legs!
@@craigscott5661 LMAO! No it has to power itself. Wake Up! Your Dreaming! Haa Haa!
@@craigscott5661 Oh Chevrolet Oh Chevrolet it needs a tow truck EVERYDAY! Your piece of SHIT it sits and RUST. It NEVER Runs when it MUST! Oh Chevrolet Oh Chevrolet it needs a tow truck EVERYDAY! Mr. Badwrench he up and quit. He WON’T WORK on your piece of SHIT. Oh Chevrolet Oh Chevrolet you need a tow truck every day. LMAO!
though if it will did 300 in a mile i would be interested to know what it would actually top out at given more room.
Tires become a serious issue at that point, they can survive 300mph for a few seconds but more than that?
Yeah, I'm with the others...It's not the car's power, aero or chassis that is the limiting factor...How many cars require tires to go that fast? None, until now. But, I''m sure they could have Michelin customize a tire for them...Michelin is really good at that, as we all know. But, maybe 325-330? That looks ludicrous just me writing it.
@@freedomrider266 look up the koenigsegg jesko, it has custom tires supposedly able to with stand 300mph+. Not sure for how long though.
@Real M This car is a race car with plates
@@CncObsession race cars have downforce. straight line machines don't.
The Fordist in me is so happy to see it. A Ford! This is a brand of cars always used by my family for aeons. A proud Ford owner here! 💪🏻🤘🏻🔥💙
incredible! Quite probably the most iconic car ever for me, personally...
I wish that drone shot could have kept up for longer. ❤️
That would require an actual F15 not a drone
Drones can't keep up with Ford GT's, just as the helicopters couldn't keep up with the Ford GT's in Lemans
Bugatti takes miles to hit 304.6 on a closed course, this is still accelerating after hitting 300.2 in 1 mile.
320+?
I would say realistically 305-310.
@Valkyrie 007, my point remains...the Bugatti takes several miles on a closed loop to hit top speed. The GT hits it in one mile and is still accelerating. HARD.
@Valkyrie 007 the Bugatti is a second generation, untold millions in development, all wheel drive, more cylinders/turbos, traction control, et cetera. One has an entire factory and billions of dollars behind it, the other has a small team of people who love cars.
Anyone can drive the Bugatti fast, only requirement is your bank balance.
The Ford is a driver’s car, one needs SKILL to drive this car.
The Bugatti is at its top speed, the Ford is not.
To me, what the GT team did is far more impressive, because the Bugatti team built upon the more than a decade of factory work developing the Veyron and then learning from it. Multimillion dollar sales tag, and plenty of return from those customers (paid off much of the R&D/tooling costs).
The bias you exhibit is apparent to all but yourself. Have a nice day.
@Valkyrie's 007 Ignore him. he can't get it through his head that the GT is tuned to hell and back whilst the Bugatti is a standard road car. He's too thick to know that any car could be tuned to 2700bhp like this GT if the budget was thrown at it
Ford never thought this beast would roam in that realm of speed. This is truly fascinating.
I think that had an idea... As did Old Shelby
That's insane.
Ford has just obtained ultra instinct
I understood that reference.
DB
"Not bad, Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+...you made me use 10% of my horsepower."
@@royal_kim1154 ford laughs in world record 😂
@@royal_kim1154 can't do 300mph over the standing mile.
Hell yeah! That is the best racer Ford ever made.
I disagree.. It is just one of many Ford has built and will continue to build... Haha
@@JC-gw3yo what's the big deal? You have a right to disagree with my opinion, with your own opinion. That is how we roll.
This made the ford in my veins so happy!!!!!
And millions of other Americans
WOW !!! A Ford GT-40 with a drag chute ? OMG !! SO impressed !! Hail to Carroll Shelby & his Legacy !!
I would have pulled that chute around 225mph just after I crapped my pants. Haha
It sounds like a plane! Amazing!
Awesome team effort, gents!!! Well done!!
145 mph in second gear: enough said...
You have idea how much this touched my SOUL !!!!! I'VE WATCHED THIS AT LEAST 50 TIMES ! IN THE MOVIE FORD VS FERRARI KEN MILES TAKES HENRY FORD JR. FOR A RIDE ! REMEMBER THAT PART ? THAT IS HOW PROUD I FELT WATCHING THE FORD GT40 BUSTING 300 MPH !!!!!!
The drone footage is insane. And those shift pops. Wow!
Brilliant achievement, well done! Beautiful car.
300 miles a damn hour!
At 1:00... My God! That sound it made... what a car! My heart palpitates, my ears... fell in love, my veins bled red white and Ford blue.
For some reason I hear Elvis Presley singing "How Great Thou Art"....
The National Anthem i hear next, and the American flag waving 🇺🇸 mine eyes waters. 😭
Facemelt ensues 😱
Heaven....
In a mile?! Are you fucking kidding me?! That’s fucking crazy!! I don’t know if people understand how difficult that is to attain. That’s inane... straight up... period. Incredible acceleration. Overcoming that much drag as speed increases. It’s fucking crazy. Congrats to the builders of this vehicle and the dude who drove it to this incredible record who apparently needs to ice his gargantuan balls! IMO it is one of the most beautiful and iconic designs in Motorsports.
Second this!
ford gt best car in the world👊
The newest one has what even European guys (and you know how they HATE to give credit to US cars) say may be the best chassis ever assembled, IN ANY CAR EVER. I don't doubt it.
I believe it now.
@@freedomrider266 You do realise that both the Mustang (2015-onwards) and the new Ford GT were designed by Chris Svensson- A British designer. He designed the chassis, thats why it is good. I would say calling in the best chassis is too much.
@@TheRealBleach A very talented designer, life-long Ford man. So sad he passed. May he rest in peace.
agreed.
Carol Shelby is smiling right now.
RIP Sir.
This video rocks! I can't skip it when I see it repeat on my feed. Always gives the sweet goosebumps!!! Mmmmm!!!
Backfires of fuck yeah!!!!!!
thanks alot guys.
since there wasnt a ride along video cam this year i didnt even get to come once.
way to go.
Insane. Went from 100 - 200mph fast than my bike goes 0-60
Ford GT is my most favorite car on the planet I'll never be able to afford
Bobby Brummett not with that attitude. Just as this dude believed he could break the 300 mph barrier so must you. Look forward to your post of you purchasing your dream car, the Ford GT.
"aright boys back to the shop, let's go for 400!"
American Muscle and being a Ford makes it even sweeter.
Now imagine how much faster it would go if they didn't need a 200 lb set of balls just to do it
*This Ford GT can reach 320+ mph in Bonneville Salt Flats!*
@@Hammerdak what FIA? This is the Texas Mile. It's not Bonneville. They aren't setting any land speed records. This is for production street legal cars to see how fast they can go from a standing start to one mile. If there's a tail wind then everyone has a tail wind that day. You're mixing up what's taking place here.
@@Hammerdak Heyasshole, what evidence can you show us that there was a 50mph goddamn wind behind them? I'm looking at the women's hair in the celebration immediately afterwards and there's nothing more than a slight variable breeze out there. So stuff a sock in it, you fcukingtrollboi.
@@aliceshaw8265 he did have a point. The problem was the original comment. By bringing up claims about absolute top speed you gotta wonder. Its clear he was wrong about a 50mph tailwind.
@@Hammerdak They enjoyed a 10-15 mph tailwind by the looks of people's shirts and those flags. a fact that doesn't mean much when you're 41 inches off the ground and cutting air at 300mph. one look at the accelleration curve should tell you this car has enough motor to do 320.
That's a staggering achievement. Merica!
The KING of The Mile. Everybody else go home and shuttup.
I’d like to know the times, 1/4 mile and mile.
Richard Rudolph 1/2 mile was 240 I believe
You should take this car to the Bonneville salt flats. It should reach over 325 mph!
Zé Purguento tires wouldn’t be able to handle over 300mph for a few seconds
@@xikiwxzrix6188 If it reaches that speed in less than 2 1/2 miles, the tires may resist...
xI kiwxzr Ix it’s much less weight than your typical hyper car. So the tires won’t have as much force to deal with in that regard.
@@xikiwxzrix6188 What do the Salt Flats racers use for tires?
Wow! Just Wow! I'm a bit late to the party but I'm must say this is an accomplishment! Twin turbo, twin cam cross plane Ford V8 power!
And I believe the engine is only 5.8 liters (351 CID)
There’s nothing like a hug from a woman that loves you after you’ve done something awesome!
Ford created that car to kick ass
LIKE IVE ALWAYS SAID ! FORD . SIMPLE .
FINALLY!! I have been waiting to see this ever since I first seen a ford gt in a showroom at a dealership many years ago.
Thank you to the owner and builders of this car.
Last time I heard anything like that, it was an airshow and a P-51D with its Rolls Royce Merlin v-12 engine was doing a high speed, low altitude pass over the flight line. In the dense air at low altitude, the ground speed might have not been that different from what they are shooting for .. My main point was Doppler-shifted growl going past was very similar..
I bet the Ford GT was more power than the P51 too... mind boggling
24 LS owners quit and gave up after hitting the dislike. *ford* 💪
Poor Chevy guys.. Always behind and sucking the government teat
I would love to see a speedometer view of that run!
These iterations of the Ford GT's will be worth more then Koeniggseggs. Mark My Words.
The stock 6 speed manual gearbox was used up until the 290s mph range. The stock suspension was working through the 270s mph range. The engine is a stock block and reworked FACTORY heads. One crazy overbuilt American supercar.
Ford is amazing 😉
Humans are so strange......to never say enough. There is always going to be that other guy that says, I can go faster than that.
Ford has always been the first when it comes to speed.
A friend of mine Paul vanderley who is gone now God bless his soul. Ran Bonneville for years. He was an engineer for Ford Chrysler and Chevrolet back in the day. It was before hurricane Katrina he told me this but I believe Chevrolet let him put it in the Wind Tunnel one of the NASCAR guys paid for it. And they found all kinds of parasite drag on the car. Completely changed the way the thing handled and ran at Bonneville pet. Paul vanderley is in the hot rod Hall of Fame. Wonderful man God Rest his soul
That sound 1:00 ooo hoo hoo yes 🔥
INSANITY!!!
I know that team put so much behind the scenes work into this. But for some reason im so proud a ford gt was the car to do this. America has some hope left in it.
Make America great again fits this accomplishment !
UGR has left the chat
I’ve always love the Ford GT n always had a dream to go that fast in the GT... y’all did that for me🙏🏾 lol now only if it can be in forza horizon 4.. then we in business
It is...
What an absolute amazing machine that ford is dang that was awesome
Bravo my friends...bravo!!! Always loved the GT-40s....Great job..Carrol would be proud! God speed sir's-!!!
Bugatti engineers: SCHEISSE!!!
Christian Von Koenigsegg: Psshh hold my macchiatto.
Thats crazy!
And it’s the only car to continuously keep breaking its own record. The Ford GT has no comparison.
Very impressive. Ford gt has always been one of my favorite cars.
You can get a Ford gt add 2000 HP instead of buying a 2 million Bugatti chiron ss
@BTICronox I used to work as a technician for Ford and we would get 10 year-old Ford GT's come in for routine maintenance that has had nothing go wrong with them...
How reliable is it?? That’s your argument? It’s not an every day driver, reliability isn’t a major concern here bud... it’s just did 300 mph, get over yourself
@BTICronox You're right, they don't. The most I have worked on was only 1000. Hennessey GT1000.
@BTICronox The amount of money those Bugatti's cost, the Ford GT can break down and need a new motor 10 times and it'll still be cheaper, lol. I'm actually being fairly conservative, it's more like you can replace the entire drivetrain 10 times or more...
@BTICronox And where are these reliability statistics? How many Bugatti's have been driven to hundreds of thousands of miles without a motor or transmission rebuild? You do realize that most of these exotic European super cars are not reliable cars right? You're not paying for the car, you're paying for the brand and the status symbols that they are. For 2 million dollars without the fancy name you can definitely build a faster car that can be driven on the road daily without issues.
Next
They should do the silver state classic
An old Nascar holds that record
I bet the Ford GT could add 50 MPH to the Nevada record
Thrilling, Tremendous accomplishment. Those guys must have celebrated all night.
even more impressive, ,, back to back runs !!!
Amazing!
*Chevrolet has left the chat*
Apparently Ford did a good job with the aerodynamics on the GT!
who knows really. 2500-3000hp is a lot, these speeds can be achieved with far less, albeit not in a mile of road. to do this in a mile of road probably needs every ounce of 2500hp.
Right you are. The 1960's GT's were very good, but if you check the I net, Ford spent a lot of time on areo with this version and they got it right... Man they got it right
Lol. This gt will Nearly traveling to the future like a time machine.. Ford gt went to the stage where no one could reach it.
Congrats m2k for making such a great success with Ford gt and the history will repeat itself 👍
the movie back to the future needed a Fort GT
that´s insane
I find it hard to believe... a jet takes off at less speed than that
Kuti Dude, a jet is meant to fly so I’d hope it takes off much slower than that
There's a phenomenon called "Downforce" in aerodynamics. Maybe give it a read? Lol.
