svtkeith Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Randy Pobst is a racing friend of mine. I talked to him about that test (he was driving), he said that if it were 10 degrees cooler, they would have easily reached over 200. It just would not cool down when they had the opportunity in the hot Arizona desert. I like Randys reviews he is honest and a great driver.

Well, the review I saw on the 2010 was driven by Probst and it was (online and) in MT. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many 24 hour races also to his credit. http://www.randypobst.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Ironic. The Svt guy who drove me in the fiesta ST told me had a gt500 on the proving grounds at 206 and still pullin. Of course, I don't really care for test track stats. It's not like ill ever get to go balls out on one of those. Still, like Phill says, 198, 202, none of those are shabby. You got to be out of your gord to want to break 200 in a mustang. Ill let you know what it does in Terlingua. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT NAJA Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Randy ran Chrysler's APG 5 mile oval (which is just shy of 2,000' above MSL) in elevated temperatures. 200+mph is within reach with cooler temps and/or closer to sea level like the Nardo Ring in Italy where Ford established the record. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Proving_Grounds Edit: Randy's run starts about the 8:00 mark...

ViperNC Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Well done documentary. Very factual in their review in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 They did 11.6 1/4 mile. Randy says it is a 200MPH car. I like his professionalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
