Wow what a machine you must be extremely proud of yourselves.
Glad you've gotten passed you earlier problems and I loved the vid of RV3 tootling to the shops and back!..
Didn't you feel like opening it up a little?
Well done I'm a big fan. (hope to see you in the flesh at some point soon!)

I'm guessing that this was taken early-ish on Sunday?

Fantastic! Congratulations.

These results are such a credit to everyone who has worked so hard on the car.

You think you get hate comments now!

Wait till you upset the yanks by beating the world record. PH shop will have to carry a new Tshirt

"Red Victor 3 VOSA approved Yank Smasher" with "6.70....Haters Gonna Hate" on the back

The yanks have run in the low 6s. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoHvTyiHzRg

Is it street legal?

Looks like doorslammer to me.

I'm pretty sure it did/does hold world record for single turbo car

BTW, first post, welcome and thanks for the constructive input.

"Street legal" is a subjective term, i believe in Texas you can use M&H race slicks, open exhausts and other things a MOT test station here may object to, almost anything could be street legal somewhere...........

A bit late in offering congratulations, but a brilliant job. Look forward to having a proper look round next time out rather than from the mound in a beer haze!

If you do a search on YouTube there's a video of it being driven on the streets around Northampton

mmm, was this around the same time it was running 6.3's?

I honestly have no idea, but WHEN Andy takes the record, will it be for the quickest current car or the quickest ever?
ANDY, SLINKY.....Some clarification required please.

That is Andy Jensen, he runs a full outlaw pro mod spec setup.

Car itself runs a Single Turbo SBC and his new car has run 6.00 I think.

But hate to burst your bubble but that is not a street car and not anything like RV3.

Feel free to stick around but going out your way to try take the shine off these guys achievements is a bit lame...

[callyman]

Thanks for that, Let's see what his second post will be, if he bothers at all.

[Flying Toilet]

Forgot to add that car is stuffed with titanium and other goodies and probably weighs 1000lbs less than Andys car.

It's like comparing apples and oranges.

True, you can't get apple jaffa cakes yet.
I do know RV3 is pretty much the heaviest Pro Mod ever weighed at POD.

It isnt a street car then? Even if the title on vid mentions it. I gather none of the cars in scsn are road legal either.
What sanctioning body does Larry Larson run in? Drives 1200miles on the road. Thats not lame. Neither is RV3.
