220.7 MPH is the new world record for a street car in the standing mile, achieved by the E85 Viper owned by Karl Jacob. The record proves power and performance do not have to be sacrificed for environmental responsibility.
The 1200 horsepower E85 Viper rocketed from a standstill to 220.7 MPH in one mile, taking 27.41 seconds at the Oscoda- Wurtsmith Airport in Oscoda, Mich. The previous standing mile record was 217.85 MPH held by a gasoline powered street car. The event was attended by members of the press and Michigan State Representative Joel Sheltrown.
