Damn thats crazy but $100,000 is a lot of dough. I like when he said “things really got crazy when he added some stickers”. Ricers out there somewhere are going “HA! I TOLD YOU STICKERS ADD POWER!!!” ---

> [@The\_Russian](#): > > It doesnt pick up the front end becase its a 9 liter V8 engine. yea… because the extra 150 pounds from it being a BBC instead of a SBC REALY makes a difference it probably doesnt pick up the front end becuase the turbos arent spooled, and because he lauches easy to keep from spinning the tires because he built the car to ride “nice” on the street … causing a lack of traction out of the hole respectivly speaking of course … sure its still got alot of traction compared to a 13 second drag car w/ stock rear suspension ---

Didnt the owner say 100 grand, One important thing people should remember when investing that kind of money in a car is that “There is always someone faster”. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/worlds-fastest-street-car-top-gear/19152.md?page=2)
