I dont know if anyone follows Andy Frost and Red Victor, but RV3 posted a standing quarter time of 6.5928 @ 220.09mph today, making it the fastest street legal car in the world.
Road Legal

I have pics somewhere of him popping to Tesco for Jaffa Cakes :D
When it was first built there was some bad tolerances in the valvetrain. It didnt end well.
I bought one of the pistons as a souvenier. Yes, that is a bit of valve stem embedded in the top lol

Bonkers. Watch from 3:40 for an in-car view. Can you imagine what that feels like?!
i was speaking to a guy at work who used to race drag cars, his sone is currently building a drag car too - some big yank thing. he is good friends with the red victor guys and used red victor as his wedding car!
I wonder what it can actually do in street trim off the lights? as in road legal tyres, betcha it still pops a 8 second run or something off the sliproad onto the M1 :laugh: :agree:
