300+ MPH street driven Record Holder
Some years ago, Mark @ Luhn Performance, his wife Jill, and I went to the Victoria Texas Area to watch John Clegg, a Pontiac Racer, try to run 200 mph with his RAT GOAT (Pure Pontiac Power - 1964 Lemans body).
The car was powered by a large Vortech Supercharger. He ran about 196 MPH. Skip Fix was also at the Texas Mile. So Johns car probably weighed 3600 lbs with him in the car. (There was a Ford GT Sports Car with twin Turbos that ran 287 mph on the Texas Mile the same day. So I see where recently (last few days) where a similar Ford GT race car set a new MPH record at the NASA Space Center in Florida. More info in a bit. Tom V. https://www.foxnews.com/auto/florida...ecord-mph-ford 310.08 mph with twin turbos 331 cid

Wow, and the body looks mostly stock without lots of aerodynamic mods.
Thanks for sharing! |

Danny Thompson will tell you that having a properly sized front chin spoiler will have a
difference. He flipped a Ford Mustang over on its back at Bonneville one year at 265 mph. https://www.fordgt500.com/threads/ho...-mustang.8132/ 310 is scary fast. But a much better body shape vs a Mustang Tom V.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
