Standing start from 0 to 257mph in 1 mile

I just can't imagine how you can hit 257mph within one mile from a standing start, but this highly modified Ford GT did it. 34 pounds of boost, 2000hp.

Apparently, the car is street legal.

And it hit 204 mph by the 1/2 mile mark.

Awesome.

That is pretty sick, but vid would have been much better if camera was over drivers right shoulder looking out the windshield with view of track and guages..
