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.


ohhhhh i get it.

So while its the "street" category, the cars are not street legal when they compete. Then after the race they make whatever modifications are required for the car to be street legal again.

It makes sense, because they wouldnt perform as good if they were legal on the street while in their actual builds/ specs.

Exactly.


Also none of these cars would pass emissions testing. They are all from non emissions states. Tag, insurance, driveable. Thats it.

3000hp+ tends to be rather hard on dynos so I doubt it will ever see one ;)

Using a simple HP calculator the thing had to be making around 2300whp to run that ET and that trap speed. These are very rough estimates though.

The final goal was like 5.90s I believe so I think its got some left in it.

Uhhh idk depends what you mean by that

Driven every day to and from, no


Street legal and able to be driven on the street? Yes



In all reality, 90% of people that claim they have the fastest street car don't drive their cars anywhere but passes at the track or down some road, they get trailered to and from

But drag week is cool the cars have to be legal, they have to be able to make the 1000+ mile trip and they have to carry their own spares/ what ever they need.

I think it's cool
