Yeah, but the only sponsor decals on the car other than Hennessy are all on the back window. :-/ Good point about saving weight though. Maybe it's just that this wrap is particularly ugly...

For illustration purposes:

You'd be surprised! There's a lot of classes between a stock mustang and a top fueler. Plenty of guys all over the country will top 200 in a quarter mile, and I can't imagine that 267 in a mile would be too hard. But again: prepared surface. It's like the difference between averaging 90mph in a WRC car on a stage in…

I know it's stupid to focus on this, but MAN am I sick of wraps. PAINT THE EFFING CAR. Incredible accomplishment, though. Unbelievably fast.

I would choose this over any current competing Mercedes or BMW by a loooooooong shot. While so many other carmakers are going for lumpy, blobby shapes (except you, M6 Gran coupe, you'll live in my heart forever) Cadillac has managed to make a sleek car with sharp lines that is unabashedly a luxury sedan. Also, the mid…

7M? why no 1J? Nice car, but just a little too rich for my blood.

Whats really impressive is that the thing looks pretty much in one piece at what I can only assume is the end of the race. in earlier LeMons races, this thing would've hit everything but the lottery.

"Naoto Suenaga" not "Naoto Suenag" (sorry, it bugs me). Quality video though.

Yeah, came here to post that.

I love at around 1:21, the guy on the trailer is like "Yep, aother job well done. Time to turn in for some Vodka."

Hahaha, the '80s motoring metaphors are great. Also a wonderfully unpretentious piece of journalism. So much of it would be impossible to air today. :(

Did anybody notice the vanishing cameraman? He was stationed right where the engine came through, and when the camera comes back, he's not there. It's be interesting to get his story.

So... anybody notice the driverless car? Yeah? Ok, I'll leave.

Another entry in the "things to worry about while driving that arent really that big of a deal"category are flywheels. They can explode, and when they do, it's incredibly nasty. Of course, they usually have to be abused like crazy to explode, and are normally completely safe  - a lot like gasoline, and a lot (I…

A neat idea, but it's not complete. Fix everything that's not working, and you might get close to the 12k. An E36 for that much can't have any foibles.

What the hell was wrong with a simple mechanical deveice to open and latch the doors? Seriously, I feel like if Tesla just concentrted on making a good, normal car that was electric, a ton of this stupid shit would go away. Can someone explain the benefit of having every funcion of a car go through a computer process?

Restoration wasn't the point, clearly. He built the car he wanted without exceptions, and without compromises. Just because it's not clean, not pretty, and not JDM as fuck, doesn't mean that it's not awesome. Also, he clearly didn't half-ass it. He just concentrated on what was important to him - suspension, engine,…

There are guys ike this at EVERY track day. Usually after they shit themselves a few times they either get some instruction or wreck their car.

The rear view is the one that got me. So crazy.

The 242 turbo, of course!
