LiveLeak.com - 2400hp 1963 Corvette is fastest of all street legal race cars

I think M5's are maybe quicker? I seem to have read that somewhere.

I've seen this before.

"2,400-horsepower, twin-turbo-charged Corvette" "zero to 60 mph in one second" "quarter-mile mark in 6.95 seconds at 210.54 mph - the fastest-ever recorded drag strip run by a street-legal car"

Neat! On the street or at the strip? I would love to see it; he apparently lives nearby.

Pretttttyy sick.... wouldn't mind going for a ride in it.

Street legal... Only because the car is so old he doesn't have to worry about emissions testing anymore.

I give him props for the amount of work into it, but I personally think it looks dumb with those huge scoops on both sides, and he obviously can't go around corners very well anymore.

I agree that the scoops don't look right and it's not really my style, but . . . I'd still take it!

It does the quarter mile in the 6 second range and the guy can (and does) drive it on the street!??!

that thing is insane. I'm sure it's not a DD.

I wish I had his garage.

HilbillyHomeboy · 09-18-2009, 01:20 PM

Seen this before as well. I think it would be more appropriately titled "technically street legal". And his claim of fastest street legal must be to do with the tires. I know of a "street legal" Corvette that is faster/quicker.

Quote:

The 1984 Corvette makes approximately 2,400 HP and has run a 6.87 @ 210 in the quarter (4.59 @ 164 in the 8th). When set on a milder boost level, it runs consistent mid 7s. It launches at 3,800 RPM and I change gears at 7,600. It weighs 3,150 without me in it. It has turn signals, power windows, horn, etc. and is street driven (not a lot!).
