Gaz6002 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Stats: 8.8-L GM V8 packing over 3000BHP, estimated 240MPH terminal and quarter mile in 6.5 seconds - to start with. Meet Red Victor 3 I've seen the earlier Red Victor cars doing almost 200MPH in the quarter, but the latest iteration is even crazier than that... it's set to race in 2011 in the MSA Pro-modified drag series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 All very well but I'd feel a bit of a div driving down the high street in that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Wasn't the original on 5th gear, the guy who owned it was a bit odd, it sat in his back yard on what looks like a council estate somewhere. It would turn heads... And what a crazy b-sterd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Like I said it may be street legal but it aint no street car, awesome project but must be a pain to try and keep it street legal if you want to be competative in a class where everything is a race car.

sdistc Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Awesome build. I'd love to do a sheet-metal restoration/retrotech on a 70s muscle car at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
