12 March 2008 - 2:11Fastest speed record - Ford Mustang?

Technically not the fastest, but fastest for a stock car (classified as stock bottom) that’s in production. Robert Self will be attempting this recording breaking event in April of this year, and hopes to achieve speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. Including safety devices the car has cost him amazing $171,000 so far. For that price tag it boasts a 1,000 horsepower engine. The track they’re using is only one mile long, so safety is of great concern, however, they have calculated he will have enough time to brake.
