I mean REALLY fast street cars. Sure, they're not exactly budget oriented, and they are drag cars, but you have to admit anyone who drives something like this on the street often, and actually put miles on it is amazing and insane. A full bodied '66 Nova with a turbo big block - the old style.
What does it run, you ask... 9s? Pedestrian. 8's? pathetic, this car could do that towing my turbobrick. Not even 7's. This car, my friends, ran an uncorrected 6.95 at 209.
This car drove 1,000 miles in Hot Rods fastest street car competition. It never broke, he didn't bring a support team. A fluke, you say? Three other cars were in the sevens. A '57 Chevy (7.10 with 1,000ft wheelies), a '68 Camaro (which knocked down 24 mpg in a twin turbo small block 427 ONLY running 7.60s) and another Camaro. Flat out amazing.
This (along with a slew of folks under $2010 here) makes my goal of a 13 second Brick seem like I should be doing it with two cylinders, machining things with a rusty nail, pumping fuel with a fish tank pump and driving on genuine inner tubes while filing my nails or some other blatantly feminine task.
So, who is ready to pitch in (money) and set up the turbobrick with a drivetrain like that and go beat them next year? Anyone? Anyone???
