Thought this sucker was turbocharged at first but it's a very big Procharger.

Don't know much about it and assumed it was American but it's English, it runs a 7.41 second quarter mile at 185mph and damn it launches!!!

christ that is a flexible chassis!

monster!!!

Not really twist in the chassis, it's a full spaceframe but with that much horsepower, soft rear suspension set up to launch the car as hard as it can in a straight line and wrinkle slicks that squash down for maximum grip the engine tends to turn the whole car over on the back axle like that. It always looks wilder on Pops because they are as tall as they are wide. I want a go!!!

Well I have a bit of further information, originally it was destined for the Street Eliminator, an all street-legal class so yes I expect it does have a passenger seat and the scary thing is it probably isn't far off being street legal. Imagine doing that off the lights

It hasn't been dyno'd because there isn't a dyno in the country that can take the power. It clocked up 1000ft-lbs of torque and roughly 1000hp at 3000rpm which is where the dyno couldn't take any more. Estimates are up at 2000hp

Leo, the tyres are designed to twist up and release the energy rather than being rigid causing massive wheel spin. Also when the car isn't moving they sit half deflated looking all squashed out on the tarmac for maximum grip, then up at speed they grow really tall and narrow which is like having another gear.
