Default Fastest street car in the world..

Check this thing out, driving it in the rain to the track too.

Don't give me crap cause it prolly don't run on pump gas...it's a bad car regardless. Everyone has their opinion on what exactly makes a "street car". If it's street legal, that's good in my book

...like a rocketship, I'm sure. Wouldn't it be funny if that guy pulled up next to you at a light and then pointed forward. I'd get a good laugh out of that!

Actually yes, he does run pump gas. He's got a big fuel cell for the daily driving side of it, and a smaller cell or race gas for when he makes a pass at the track. It's also a hand shifted Lenco trans that he drives on the street without any issues. The car is quite remarkable.

I grew up racing with Larry, and saw the car grow and change over the years. Not only is it a great car, but a great guy that owns/drives it.
