AND it has a proper transmission . Is this the Ecoboost version?

It appears to be the 5.4L s/c version from the mid-2000s; very highly modified of course.

An impressive feat to be sure!

The BADD GT still satisfies the “street legal” aspect of the record, with valid registration and insurance, as well as amenities you wouldn’t expect to find in a car built to break top speed records, like air conditioning, a passenger seat and a working stereo. Bohmer even says he occasionally uses the GT to run errands.

Very impressive....and it "still had more". 310 is enough for time being. Now they can sit back and see what the others will bring, while keeping the GT's full capacity under lock and key.

Amazing feat....congrats!
