things got really serious when he added stickers


Meet Red Victor 1, the fastest accelerating street-legal car in the world. Based on a 1972 Vauxhall Victor, it rockets 0-60 mph in an astounding 1 second - on normal gas! For comparison purposes, a Ferrari Enzo takes 3.3 seconds, a McLaren reqires 3.4 and a Saleen S7 3.3.

The 9.3 liter, twin-turbo V-8 produces 2200 hp and screams through the quarter mile in 7.8 seconds. And, the best part is that it was all built by one man in his garage. Serious speed has a serious price: about $180,000 in parts, not to mention thousands of hours of Andy Frost’s time, and about 5 mpg at the pump.

An alternate link for the video in case there are problems with the one above.
