Apparently one of the guys on the build team for Jesse James owns a Red GTS (blown?) and the build was to make a car for an event such as the silver state classic (standing mile?) In any event, they showed a couple of the cars and using a radar gun, clocked their top speed at the traps. The car that was built for jesse managed a healthy 155mph (one heavy lincoln), while the GTS managed a mph of 183! whoa. Anybody else catch this episode?

Didn't catch the episode but did catche the Silver State. 183 was the winning MPH in the standing mile although it wasn't JJ. Also, the speeds at 6500 feet elevation are considerably slower than they would be hear at sea level.

Where did they do the 1 mile run?

I've seen that episode. The red GTS has a fancy-schmancy-swirly flame paint job if that helps anyone identify it. Nice looking car for a graphics paint job.
