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.

This is more impressive to me.

"Saturn's new ION Red Line quad coupe raced into the record book at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Wendover, Utah, Friday, October 17, 2003, establishing a new mark in the G/Blown Fuel Altered class at 212.684 mph. The record-setting Saturn eclipsed the previous record by almost 30 mph. The previous record of 183.086 mph was set in 2001 by a Honda Civic. The Saturn is based on the new factory-built ION Red Line sport compact and powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine."

It's not bad when you're talking about a relatively inexpensive street car that runs on pump gas. Also, the last line--they weren't supposed to exceed 180.

I went 135mph once with a *2 speed* transmission... needless to say the rear gear ratio musta been 2.something ...
