 Maloo Breaks A World Record

Paul Gover
28 June 2006
www.carsguide.com.au

The world's fastest ute is an all-Aussie Maloo from Holden Special Vehicles.

Mark Skaife has just taken the crown with a 271.44km/h blast down the deserted bitumen strip at the disused Woomera test range in South Australia.

The V8 Supercar ace cranked out a maximum speed of 277.16km/h in the stock-standard Maloo, but his entry in the Guiness World Record books is a two-way average to eliminate any wind assistance.

Still, it was easily better than the previous mark of 248.78km/h set by a Dodge Ram SR-T with an 8.3-litre V10 motor in 2004.

Chris Sheedy from Guiness World Record was present to monitor and certify the record attempt, which was for the Fastest Production Pick- up/utility.

Around 100 members of the local Woomera community also watched the runs. Skaife says there were no dramas with the Maloo or its speed and is happy to have a new trophy in his collection.

"Records are made to be broken, I think this one will stay for some time to come!", Skaife says.








That's 168.665 mph average and 172.219 mph peak speed for those of yous on the other side of the world.
(The Dodge Ram SRT10 went 154.585 mph.)

OWNED km/h.
Yes I realize that.....

My question is do they actually reverse the names of the seasons. I.E. is winter hot or do they call it summer.

 Too bad it is ugly, pointless, and the mileage is abysmal.

I live to make Asstralians hate/cut.

Because the SRT-10 is no-where near pointless & has mileage to shame a Prius. Whatever.

Yet another thing Australians kick-ass at!

No power of hell,

or calls me home.
Here In the Power of Christ I stand.

I didn't say the SRT-10 was any good at all. In fact, I think performance pickups are daft.

Actually, you might find that I have more knowledge about it than most non-Oceania people.
