9, 2022, the Gas Monkey Garage-sponsored 2006 Ford GT known as the “BADD GT,” achieved a top speed of 310.8 mph (500.1 km/h) at Space Florida's Launch and Landing Facility, located in Kennedy Space Center, Florida, making this car the fastest street legal car in the world.
Ford claims that the GT has a maximum speed of 216 MPH. This would make the Ford GT one of the fastest street-legal sports cars out there. It's a little bit faster than many popular supercars like the Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari SF90 Stradale, which have top speeds of 198 MPH and 211 MPH, respectively.
Glide through corners with finesse and enjoy a smooth and controlled ride. Top Speed and Quarter-Mile Domination: Feel the adrenaline surge as the 2024 Ford Mustang GT reaches 0 to 60 mph in about 4.6 seconds with an impressive top speed of 155 mph.
Sure, the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ may have gone quicker than any other standard production car before it (hitting 304.773 mph or 490.48 km/h in 2019), but in a straight line, this 2006 Ford GT is even faster.
At least over a standing mile. M2K Motorsport's 2006 Ford GT broke the 300mph barrier on the last of its three runs at a standing-mile event at Texas's Victoria Regional Airport last weekend, hitting 300.4mph before deploying its parachute and hitting the brakes. Presumably very hard indeed.
As of today, the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 crushes all with a 0-60 mph time of just 1.66 seconds. That's simply absurd, but keep in mind the Demon was engineered with the single-minded purpose of going fast in a straight line.

Makes roughly 2700 hp, and currently holds the Guiness world record for fastest street-legal standing mile car at 283.2 mph. That record was set back in 2012, however, and since then the car's gone 292 mph and now, 310.8 mph.
To deliver unconstrained performance, exceeding that of any Ford GT to date, the Ford GT Mk IV has a unique twin-turbo EcoBoost engine with larger displacement targeting more than 800 horsepower, paired to a proper racing gearbox.
Reaching 293.6 mph, a 2006 Ford GT set a new standing mile world record, as you can see in the video below. To help it hit such a high speed over the course of just one mile, the Ford GT received a little help from M2K Motorsports.
As of today, the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170 crushes all with a 0-60 mph time of just 1.66 seconds. That's simply absurd, but keep in mind the Demon was engineered with the single-minded purpose of going fast in a straight line.
