Default Polly's 1400hk Trans Am..

non Ford but.....
Some of you may have seen this car at gatebil or some other car show smoking its rear tyres, this is all for fun and testing.
But the car is actually built for a reson, the fastest car race in the world called SILVER STATE CLASSIC CHALLENGE ( http://www.sscc.us/ ).
In 2001 or there about "Polly" went to USA to qualify for this event, but his car wasn't ready so he just rented a VIPER and managed to qualify.
OK- back to the Trans Am, its an great piece of work 1400hk and
1112ft/p!! Earlier this year he went to Germany to do some laps at Mercedes' test course ATP (Automotive Testing in Papenburg).And the rest is just incredible.
During a test in the WET he managed to set a new record for the track, measured about 1 mile in to the straight, he clocked an amasing 230mph.
At the end of the straight GPS shoved 246mph!!!
Later in the DRY he did 236mph at the limiter in 4th gear and when he put
it in to 5th the gearbox let go...
I think this is now fixed and the car is on its way to USA....
