Wakin up the neighbours
Don't know how much you know about this car,but it started life as a '70's Vauxhall Victor,with a 90 bhp 4 cylinder. After a certain Andy Frost got (ahem) tinkering it now boasts 2300+ bhp courtesy of a 572 ci Twin Turbo Chevy big block.fine you may be thinking,but this is a street legal road car,that runs on regular pump gas,is taxed,insured and mot'ed
It holds all sorts of records and is acknowledged as the worlds fastest street car. It pulls a 7 sec standing quarter,0-60 in 1 second and tops out at 233 mph.
Well it has undergone a bit of a makeover and is being revealed this weekend,at the Vauxhall VRX festival.The body has been tweeked,as has the engine,which now kicks out 3000+ bhp
new est 1/4 is 6.3 @ 240.
Still fully road legal,still running pump gas. Absolutely mental!
