We said they'd probably be out with an official video (http://www.autoblog.com/2013/03/25/hennessey-ford-gt-sets-267-6-mph-record-at-texas-mile-w-videos/), we did not lie. The Hennessey-powered camouflage Ford GT (http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/26/watch-a-hennessey-ford-gt-set-a-new-standing-mile-world-record/) sat at one end of the runway at the Texas Mile (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/texas%20mile/) sitting still. At the other end of the runway it had broken its own speed record, the twin-turbo 5.7-liter V8 pushing the aerodynamic supercar up to 267.6 miles per hour, a 4.3-mph improvement over the old mark.
