Now that’s a loud car!!!
Thats awesome, looks a lot like the lotus exige but stretched. That thing is fast, and I mean getting there to the top speed. I’ve built some fast cars on simulators like forza and while they may have high top speeds they take forever to get there. I wouldn’t be surprised if this car could go faster by tweaking the gearing and or the aerodynamics somehow
It’d be nice to have $1,000,000 to drop on a car like that.

Ain’t that the truth
Steven Tyler has one. I read in Hot Rod magazine that you can tune the waste gate to get 1400 hp. The engine is based on the chevy LS3 that is in the corvette.
It’s a bunch of different cars put together, I believe a Lotus body, Corvette Engine LS7, Ford GT500 Transmission, etc…
From Wiki: “As the run was in a single direction and only 11 cars have been produced to date, and is not a series production car, but registered as a modified Lotus Exige, it does not qualify as the worlds fastest production car in the Guiness Book of Records.[6]“
So it’s not technically a production car but still awesome.
If you have some time and a love for cars, check out this video of the new McLaren P1. It’s not ‘Merican but pretty amazing.
The engine is an LS9. That is what is in the zr1 corvette. They have 800, 1000 and 1200hp offerings.

It said 7.0l [427ci] GM LS7 Twin Turbocharged V8 on Wiki. Can’t always trust wiki though.
Funny how they kept calling the 900hp v8 a “generator”.

If we all pulled our money toget………………..Never mind
Yeah. I just did the math Regopit. If we all put our money together we’d have one fast as hell Daihatsu 🙂
They still make those? We could get one of those Harley’s with a small block chevy.
If we bought enough Yugos and strapped them together in a team like horses…..
Then we could put together some ad hock BS Budweiser commercial! Hey everybody….buy Pabst Blue Ribbon!!!! The good thing about having a team of Yugos…you use rice for fuel 🙂
