The Texas Mile is surprisingly for the US of A not a food contest, or so we are led to believe, although they probably have one of those. This particular Texas Mile is an ultimate driving test across, you guessed it a straight mile.
Different types of vehicles ranging from stock Camaro's and Shelby Mustang's to 1000+ hp (not quite bhp) Viper's and Corvette's compete in a standing mile race, with not a corner in sight.
Vivid Racing attended the event with their VR800 Porsche 997 Turbo after a twenty hour drive from base camp to the Goliad County Industrial Airport.
As revealed before the new blue 997 Turbo has been heavely modified by the guys at Vivid Racing. More information on the changes can be found here. http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?p=500275#500275
The sports car was the fastest 997 Turbo at the 2009 event, the VR800 ran the standing mile in 196mph. With a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds and a 60-130 time of 6.33 seconds.
