It know has a custom body kit on there and looks a lot different. Under the hood is a supercharged LS(?) motor...

Danger, danger, danger!

Hey Fatt Braff, What car is that? The profile looks like a 280Z?

Or a Jensen? But yeah, sounds sweet.

The 2 guys sitting on the engine while Dyno? Super Retardo!

I bet this thing can do a zero to upside down in a ditch backwards with a door ripped off and bursting into flames in under 3 seconds flat. Perfect for a novice driver with rich parents.

Sorry for the rant. Too many sons of riches destroying good performance cars in FL lately. I need a drink.

For those of you who are curious, the car holds an unofficial record of fastest 6 speed IRS street car with 7.98@183mph driven by Kevin of UGR. Yes it still uses the Tremec T56, it's not a dogbox.

Garth never piloted the car to anything near those speeds, nor were the times backed up. Hopefully a new owner will solidify the number the car first put down.

I guess considering how many other cars were in the garage & parked pretty close, that's a good idea.

Dual chutes are REQUIRED for any vehicle over 200 mph.

I recall seeing that a lot of the faster Viper racers ditched the 6 speed manual for a 3 speed auto. Also, what octane do they need to run to get 1500hp? And does anyone know at what 1/4 time the NHRA requires a chute? That'd give a good estimate of how fast the car'll run.
