I think it is currently held by an Escort Cosworth....and I think its time for Jabbas World to own that record now....perhaps it could be broken in an F40 ????

if you put the ford gt and 360 side by side without tellin someone the name, someone that didnt know the history of the gt40, they would pick the ford because its a better car, just as Jezza picked it over a 360. and he's the biggest ferrari nut, that says alot!

LOL!

You'd better pick a quiet moment for that record and if you do I bet you can beat that Cossie with the Diablo.

I think what with all the new strict guide lines on speeding in the UK its become a very much underground record hence why its not talked about much these days....or so it would seem...

I think a Koenigsegg would beat the Zonda... or even the Mac F1 for that matter... proven 242mph capabilities... and its powered by a Ford V8, (thats y i love it).

Here we go again...I will say it once again...having a car that can go that speed is one thing... driving it at that speed is another.....no one ever seems to consider how much skill / stupidty is required from the driver to sustain those sort of speeds...
