3000hp+

One of those turbos can support 2000hp alone lol

by the math (because its never been dynoed) the nova HAD to make at very very minimum 2300 hp to get the car the time it got with as much as it weighs, and the nova probably has 2800+

so you tell me lol


the truck probably hasnt been dynoed either, i cant find a number

If it can pull a trailer with said parts in it from racetrack to racetrack your point becomes invalid.

You can't pull a trailer anywhere on public roads if you dont have side mirrors for example. And if you put them back on after each race, that means the car is not exactly street legal when in race "build".

I'm more so being a Devils advocate here. Not being totally serious. Just pointing out the obvious.

you do realize, you dont need 2 side mirrors, and you can have a small mirror on the A post right?


oh, you didnt?

Sure. Do you realize a small mirror on the A post is still a mirror that will be required for street driving?

Did you watch the videos? He has no mirrors on the race, but when driving on the streets he has the regular mirrors. My point is still the same. You can build the fastest non street legal car in the world and when you need to drive on the street, modify as you need to make it street car again. Be it a small mirror or 100 different parts.

By this logic he can't run slicks either.


This is a street driven truck meaning it is legal and capable of such. If drag week made them run in street legal trim the racing would be a shit show. At the end of the day it is not trailered to the track.

Exactly my point. I'm no expert when it comes to the regulations. When they refer to "street" I simply assumed it means "street legal". If that's not the meaning then my comments are irrelevant and please disregard them. But if the word "street" in the category are meant the car is legal to be driven in the street under those circumstances, then this car is not street legal when in it's race build. That is all. I'm sure the mirrors do make a different on his record. So in order to have his performance numbers, he needs to make the car street illegal to compete.
Any race car can be street legal given the proper changes. Be it a dragster or a F1 car. Sure it won't perform as well as it did with the street illegal specs and parts, but the concept is the same. Be it 2 mirrors or the entire engine.

/derp

Last i checked an F1 car and a top fuel dragster don't have a VIN.

The changes he makes are easily reversed changes that drag racers have been doing for decades. The truck is built to allow those changes to be made quickly. Drooping the exhaust off, pulling mirrors, swapping wheels/tires... that is all commonplace.

hell it's not unusual to see people pulling their passenger seats out and leaving them on the ground. So long as it goes back in/on for the trip home it doesn't matter. This isn't about the street legal trim record. As far as i know that doesn't exist because the requirements vary from area to area.

That is why drag week was created. It is a simplification of the rules to end all the arguing. If you can register it, tag it, insure, and drive it over 1,000 miles while making a bunch of passes without breaking down it is a street car.
