Maybe the fastest pump-gas car (with wheelie bars) but I wouldnt say its the fastest street car. There will be Several cars in the World Street Nationals in Orlando, FL this weekend that are legal and even streetable. Check the website after qualifying today. Most of the drag radial cars would easily qualify as streetable as this car.

Yea I don't see that being the world's fastest street legal car. The problem is what do you consider "street legal".

I don't see anyone driving cars at the speed of light

You realize that at some point, someone WILL and probably DOES have the world's fastest [street legal] car. Without anyone being faster than him/her.

In most of the US and Canada that requires catalytic converter(s). Which, I'm sure, our chap in the video can make without.

Well it just may be the fastest street legal car in the UK.

Which is where the story, car and owner originated.

Dont forget the pump gas though fellas. I think the fastest hit at the PGD's here in MEmphis was an 8.4.

There's a guy around here that has a 94 Z28 that runs the same times on pump gas and has current tags on it. He's had it like that for the last 2 years.
