Just saw this list

http://www.thhe.dk/0-300.htm

and the Ultima places very high up. I wonder how long does the Ultima, specifically Gareth's (coz it was used in the record breaking runs) need to reach 186mph/300kmh.

Why doesn't the Datron timing reach 300kmh? I thought the run at Bruntingthorpe reached 300kmh?

you may also want to look at this list which is probably older but it does list several versions of the ULTIMA.

Ike, thanks and fyi that list includes the Hennessey vipers and Lingenfelter vette which was timed on a drag-strip (prepared for more grip), with drag radials/slicks and dragstrip style timing.

Ultima has done very well on a dusty airway with precise Datron GPS timing.

Anyway, would like some input from Gareth on how many seconds it took his car to get to 300kmh.

... interesting... the right hand column is headed "Topfart"


In my youth in Australia we used to measure on a scale of 1 to 10, only on a rare occasion was a fart given a ten. However, some of the farts in this list are in the hundreds..... surely this cant be on the same scale?

Does anyone know the correct conversion factor for German to OZ farts?

Btw, topfart means top speed and the language is danish - nice comparison though.
