Love it.

What was the record holder before, a Viper or was it a Supra?
SW's Supra ran low 240's and I believe that was the previous record, at least that I know of. This car is exceptionally fast. It has to be putting down 1500rwhp or more.

i'm a bit slow, but i just realized that he was going as fast as a veyron can possibly go... but got there in a mile...

it would take a veyron what, at lest 4-5 miles if not more. i mean the top gear vid were may does the top speed run. it takes at least a minute which if you put the average speed at 150mph in a minute that would be 2.5 miles. i know this is probably not in real time but if you watch the speed its waaaay slower. i mean the gt is still accelerating at 240 as fast as the veyron was at 150mph.

sorry for the worthless post but i'm just trying to put this into perspective for myself.

unless I missed something, the henessey viper was the previous record holder
No, SW's Supra was in the low 240's and the fastest Viper that I've heard was high 220's.
