This SEMA show car goes 293 km/h at Mojave Mile [w/video]

By and large, the machines created for the SEMA show in Las Vegas are built for lounging around under convention center lights and not much else. All those go-fast parts we see bolted on do little more than collect lustful stares from from the crowd. But Creations n' Chrome set out to discover just what their bolt on additions to its Ford Mustang were good for. Under the outrageous 3dCarbon bodykit sits a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 good for around 580 horsepower at 8 psi of boost on stock internals. KW served up a set of Variant 3 coilovers, and Hotchkis took care of front and rear sway bars.

The crew rolled the blown Mustang out the to the Mojave Mile for a top speed run. The machine racked up a final velocity of 293.5 km/h (182.4 mph), though the final seconds of the run looked anything but stable. Still, we're impressed at the machine's performance. For perspective, the Boss 302 is only good for 249 km/h (155 mph). Check out the video for yourself below.
