I believe the standing mile record for a street car in the standing mile is held by one of Heffners TT GT's. It is 266 if I remember right. Added link.....

The fact that Ford won't make this a permanent part of their line-up kills me. C'mon, I want to continue being able to remind my Ferrari-driving in-laws that they could have paid half the price for better performance.
