FOUR YEARS IN THE MAKING. 201.9 MPH. DREAM ACHIEVED!
Big congratulations to Jonathon Talley on joining the 200MPH Club!
This 2003 Ford SVT Mustang Cobra has been a family car since day one. Originally purchased brand-new by Jonathon’s uncle, it eventually passed down to him, where the chase for 200 MPH began.
At the October 2023 Texas Mile, he hit 178.5 MPH. After upgrading to a Whipple Gen 5 3.0L supercharger, he came back chasing 200. In 2025, after TWO failed alternators, he narrowly missed the mark at 199.1 MPH. 😳
He returned for the 2026 event, and of course, the car had other plans. A shredded blower belt, a wrench lodged between the fan and radiator, and a last-minute radiator repair later, he was back on the track.
Sunday morning, first pass: 201.9 MPH! 💨🔥
Four years of chasing the dream, countless setbacks, and a whole lot of determination. This is what the Texas Mile is all about! 🏆
