Ford GT does 220mph

[Ands]

Which service road can you drive 250mph... :hysterical:

Alam mo pala na imposible to run 220mph sa service road e. malamang sa skyway or nlex un d b hehehe. what do you think. commonsense :bottom:

may service road na pala ang skyway...

:hysterical:

edit: wala naman ganun kahabang service road sa NLEX

edit: wala naman service road na may yellow/black markers sa Skyway or NLEX

edit: now who has more commonsense

wala b akala ko meron. ngayon ata meron na kapapalagay ko palang. " alam mo n pala wala e"

I don't think the road used for this "b*ll$ out" speed test was neither the Skyway or NLEX because both of these roads do not have black and white markers. Same goes for the SLEX.

Hmm...I think I need new glasses because I think that the GT is moving sideways. Given that the speedos are always placed in the dash immediately visible to the driver, therefore the line of vision should be at the front and not the sides. If one watches the video closely, the sidemarkers for the embankments, gutters, sidewalks or whatever is positioned at the front of the camera, therefore the driver. So, if this is the case (which in my poor eyesight it is), could it be safe to assume that the mighty GT is moving sideways?

^onga napansin ko rin yan....crab pala gt na to hahaha

Well its up to you guys. but believe it or not that FORD GT runs 220mph in Manila. wow.

Manila, as in the city if Manila, I don't think so. That grand old city's roads do not have the real estate and a clear running field, if you will, to accommodate such a demonstration of speed. Now, if it somewhere in Metro Manila where there is a long stretch of road with very few vehicles and what-have-yous about, then it could be possible.

[mazdamazda]

it looks like a doctored video to me... (the speedometer might have been taken while dynoing the vehicle). the position of the camera & the dashboard is just awkward.

where can you find in the whole of Metro Manila a straight and smooth road w/o any incline/decline, has no traffic on the rightmost lane, has a service road with a fence for a divider and has uniform markings all the way?

So, hindi lang pala ako nakapansin! Actually, pati nga yung number dun sa speedo mahirap mabasa. The placement of the camera does suck, and resolution likewise is poor. I had to watch the video sideways.

Maybe the OP can tell us where this stunt actually took place. Haven't been to the Skyway recently, so I can't tell if there are yellow markers present. For sure, hindi sa NLEX nangyari to, kasi in broad daylight. Siguradong huli.

Dapat naman kasi hindi na pinagyayabang yung mga ganyan. It's not cool!

with all the money the car owner has..di man lang makabili ng hires videocam..or even film at other external angles..isang interior shot lang..labo men

[radiazone]

DYNO RACE..

tabingi tumakbo ang GT

kunting kalikot sa video editing...

The GT's speedometer is located almost in the center of the console. Look up pictures of the dashboard, and you'll see that it's in the right location.

I still don't buy that this was a service road. There are maybe two lanes of oncoming traffic on the other side, and nothing visible beyond that. I find it hard to believe this was accomplished on Manila roads, especially given the complete lack of evidence to support it.

The run looks legit, the location, not so much.

i dont think we said that the GT did that all out run ON a SERVICE ROAD... remember when you asked why there were cars driving the other direction of the GT... those were the cars that were ON the SERVICE ROAD.

i think for a second there i saw what looks to be a white porche before the said GT did the mad drive. is this the motul FORD GT and the porche GT2?

where did the skyline GTR did its 300 kph run again? anyone who remembers?

I get it now.

Still, this means the run was done during the day, on a completely empty PI road (he starts from a complete stop). One that is actually smooth enough not to tear apart the tires.

If someone can show me this road, I'll believe it. It seems fairly unlikely that this was done in the Philippines.

[GerardTagayty]

yea it still boggles me... i drive the SLEX a lot even the SKYWAY... and i also noticed the at the end of the run he turned right into a secondary road with cars parked... i also noticed in the run there were orange cones (0:12) and he passed a vehicle (too quick to really notice at around 0:27)... altho the thudding sound while he was driving could be an indication of road gaps (normal on PI roads) and he went on vibra mode at the end (also normal on PI roads. lol)

was the video taken from a helmet cam? the angle of the cam its real hard to decypher the location or the road where the car was driving.

[chrisboy]

That is a service road dude!

even if it is a service road, i dont think it is done in the Philippines. maybe a similar car is in the Philippines but to actually achieve that speed here... well hehehe

Yes, I know but still the arguable fact remains that the camera shows the black and yellow sidewalls of the street is at the front as the vehicle is moving "forward". If the vehicle is indeed moving forward, then the video clip should have shown mostly the expanse of the road viewable from the position of the camera where the shot was taken. It would show some of the sidewalls on the extreme middle left side but IMO, this is not the case with this video. It still looks like that the car was moving sideways at incredible speeds.

However, there could be an explanation to this: an extreme wide angle lens was used but again, I don't think so because if indeed an extreme wide angle lens was used, then a curvature effect on the black and yellow sidewalls should have been visible.

I found this video at YouTube(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHlUVKE-_vo). It increadibly looks nearly the same as the vid that is the topic of this thread.

Studied the video again. Gets ko na. The reason why it looks like the GT is moving sideways is due to the placement of the camera. It is was not placed directly in front of the dash. Instead, it is placed at either collarbone height or chest high of the driver as he/she was sitting, shooting to the right at around a 3-40 degree angle, inclining downward at around 5-7 degrees. This could possibly explain why the car looks like it is moving sideways.

yes it does look exactly the same!!! including the timing and the cones!

altho remember when the GT started moving there was a white porche? could there be two cameras? coz when the GT started moving there was a sentra(im just assuming coz thats what the tail lights look like to me or a lexus LS) or! the run was recorded/videod twice? could the GT have made 2 runs?

oh and just to add... the clear/latter video was uploaded first april 25, 2007 and the video of the said run in the "PI" was uploaded may 3, 2007.
