| Re: Aussies set new world speed record!! I don't have time to listen to that bloke. So how fast did they go. The record set a few days ago was 354 MPH on two wheels. land-speed record in a jet-powered car at 763 mph. Also a couple of days ago.

| Re: Aussies set new world speed record!! No it was just the record for a completely standard production ute/pickup truck. The record was last set in February 2004 by Daimler Chrylser in a Dodge RAM SRT-10 8.3 litre V10, with a top speed of 248.783 km/h. HSV’s LS2 6.0 litre V8 Maloo R8 Ute smashed the barrier set by the Dodge, setting the new speed at 271.44 kph. The run was conducted under strictly controlled conditions on the Federal Governments Woomera Prohibited Area in outback South Australia with HSV’s five time Australian Touring car and Bathurst winning champion Mark Skaife at the helm. After the speed in both directions were recorded, Mr Sheedy observed the data being down loaded form the MOTEC dash logger which had been fitted to the Maloo for the attempt. Speed 1 was recorded at 265.72 kph, speed 2 was recorded at 277.16 kph, setting the new world record at a blistering 271.44 kph. Mr Sheedy then was able to officially award Mark Skaife and the HSV team the new world title. |
