Hello all.
My name is Johnny Bohmer. I just broke the World's Record for Fastest Car in the Standing Mile at the Top Gun Run in Miami, FL. My Ford GT's speed was clocked at 252.97mph. I own a Performance Race shop in West Palm Beach, FL. The link to the record setting run is on YouTube at

Johnny, I've been following this over at the GT forum as well.

I heard that you were first looking to peg 261 on your next attempt. 275 is bound to eventually happen... if top fuel cars can run @ 300 in just 1/4 mile, a 'street' car can surely start coming close to that eventually... right? :D

it can definitely go faster, atleast few miles have been lost in that miss-shift from 1st to 2nd, but I was wondering would it be possible to upgrade gearbox to some sort of sequential unit?

anyways that's a great car:thumbup:

I gotta get out there real quick just to live down the missed shift. That shot of nos got the car a little squirrely! The car can do 300 in a mile and a half and 275 in a mile with a bit more tweaking and a clean run. I'll keep everyone posted.

You know what's great about your miss shift? The fact that the Texas mile has happened, and nobody can touch you still... for a little while longer. When that happens, then there is more on the table without changing a single thing!

Motorworld is a great place where people can share their experience, riding, videos, photos of their ride, and want to learn something more about their motorcycle. So I feel proud to be a part of this forum.
