mike 6 Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 and you thought the worlds fastest road legal car was the Veyron.... think again, its actually in wolverhampton lol!Jonny Smith reveals the world's quickest street legal car - a Vauxhall Victor that lives in Wolverhampton. This very slow slice of 1970s suburbia is certainly not the sort of car you'd expect to see going faster than a Bugatti Veyron or McLaren F1- but this one's a bit special. The owner, Andy Frost, is a 45 year old auto transmission specialist from Wolverhampton, who initially bought the car for £60 in 1981. Since then he's spent over £100,000 on modifications to make it faster. This amazing car now has a 9.3 litre V8 engine which produces 2200bhp and will do 0-60 in an astonishing 1 second. Yes, that's ONE second. Maybe this is the car that will finally put The Black Country on the world maptaken from Fifth Gear http://fifthgear.five.tv/jsp/5gmain.jsp?lnk=401&featureid=551&pageid=1216&show=s10e4§ion=On%20testofficial site: http://www.redvictor1racing.co.uk/vid: http://www.mavericksolutions.co.uk/websites/redvictor1racing.co.uk/frostys_7_80_small.wmv Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of them. And Nitrous.Anyone want to lend me £100,000 ? Link to post Share on other sites

The Punisher 0 Posted October 23, 2006 Report Share Posted October 23, 2006 The likes of the M F1 and Veyron ....have the title worlds fastest street legal production car...the word production being the key word ie there are more then one. Also remember there are a few street legal dragsters capable of sub 8 sec 1/4 mile so impressive it is certainly..but not unique J Link to post Share on other sites
