Don’t these people know better than to get on a bus with Keanu Reeves? 

Cool looking car, but the boat trailer wheels on the red one gotta go.

Because the GT’s engine is hewn from a solid block of granite and is pretty much the only engine capable of withstanding those types of forces. 

I read somewhere that if you start a quarter mile at 200mph the top fuel car will pass you somewhere before the finish line lol. But yeah, apples to nitromethane injected oranges.

If I’m reading the timeslip right, it had a 1/4mi trap speed of nearly 130 mph. That’s a blisteringly fast vehicle, especially for a Neon. 

I looked for video of the Neon’s run and have not found it yet! If it surfaces it shall be shown here, for all to see.

That, good sir or madam, is not a sleeper. That is a coma patient!

Genuine question: What tyres are they running on at 300mph?

Damn that’s seriously impressive. Interestingly, that Ford GT will still get stomped by a Top Fuel dragster. They hit 335mph in the quarter after about 4 seconds: assuming it just coasts for another 3/4 mile and loose 150mph or so over that distance. If it averaged 250mph over the last 3,960 ft, it would take 11…

That Ford GT is cool, but I’m much more impressed at that Neon and would love to know more about it.

That Neon would be a hilariously incognito stoplight racer. I can imagine the look on some Hellcat driver’s face when the vanilla looking Neon rips off to 60 (assuming 60 is the local speed limit of course) in 2.5 seconds and then putters away from the next light.

If it ain’t broke, break it.

Oh don’t forget the fad of putting “Rolls Royce” noses on Beetles, that was classy.

I guess it would be too hard to just make everybody do two laps by themselves like they did for decades. 

True.

I recall that book, I took it out of the school library more than once. In a pile of magazines in a box I still have an issue of Kit Car Magazine.
The kit I most wanted to build was based on a Ford Pinto and would make it look like a Ferrari Dino. In the pictures it looked great, but then most things did.

Oh don’t…

Hell yeah it did 

Did it really use all those quotation marks? Because the “copy writer,” regardless of their “native language,” should be “fired” or “beheaded” or, at least, “permanently barred from practicing writing as a profession.”

Glad you made it back to us Mike. 

Salutes to you, Mike. Braved a challenging event in your life and came out to tell many tales.
