Worlds fastest Garage Car!

madan80 · 16th May 2007, 21:26

Somone sent me this link a while back, a street legal version of a 1971 Vaxhaul Victor. The 9.3Liter V8 engine pushes out 2200bhp and goes from zero to 60mph in 1 Sec. Does the quarter mile in 7.8s. WOW! but yeah.. gives a mileage of 5MPG.

Victor? bah, thats a really fast conti!!

veyron1 · 17th May 2007, 01:28

Ahhh... My kinda wheels....

7.8 is kinda low for a RWD though. 2000 horses should muster late 6's..or early sevens...

Conti is an old Vauxhall Victor, and yes this car has been on TBHP for a while.

Here's a role model for all contessa owners in india....just need to find a V8 (even a Chevy small block) with a tranny and a 9" diff.....

Next years Speed run project be the deadline.....So get off this page and find yourself a bigger motor....
