Hofman Motorsports Heffner Performance Miami FlyBy Video 266+ MPH

Ray Hofman, President and CEO of Peak Completions from Midland Texas, piloted his 2006 Ford GT to a top speed of 266.9 miles per hour from a standing start in the measured mile at the Florida Exotics Event held at the Dade-Collier Airport in Florida. The Yellow Ford GT was equipped with its standard 6-speed manual transmission, stock engine block and heads, and its original stock body with no aerodynamic modifications other than removing the rear view mirrors.




Performance modifications to the Hofman Motorsports Ford GT included twin turbo-chargers installed by Jason Heffner of Heffner Performance, engine internal work by John Mihovetz-President of Accufab Racing, and tuning/electrical work by Naoto and Brian Sakata of Sakata Motorsports.




Traveling over 1/3 the speed of sound in a street legal car equipped with air conditioning, power windows and locks, and a great stereo, was unimaginable just a few years ago. The Ford GT is very aerodynamically efficient, just 44 inches tall, and built with race proven components. It was designed to be stable at speeds over 200 mph.




Hofmans record setting run was made into a direct 18 mph headwind, on a day with both high temperatures and high humidity. Even higher speeds are anticipated at future events in better conditions as a lot of improvements are planned for Hofmans Ford GT.

Image, If ford made the 6.2L V8 a DOHC engine and someone swap that engine into the Ford GT and then gave it twin turbo. They may be able to make the first street car to hit 300 MPH!
