Description:
John Maffucci now holds a new C/PS World Land Speed Record with a two-run average speed of 176.516 mph set at the Bonneville 3-mile course driving a street-legal 2003 Mustang Cobra built in Dawsonville, GA. Because of the car's original cast alloy wheels, safety inspectors were prohibitive of any speed attempts over 180 mph. Despite the Saturday afternoon temperature of 100+ degrees and a 20 mph cross wind, Maffucci qualified at 174.036 mph to make his record run the next morning at 7:20 am of 178.996 mph. He held the rpms at 4800 in 6th gear from the 2-mile mark on to prevent exceeding the 180 mph safety limit. |
