This unique Aston Martin drag racer is owned by Steve Niemantas and features
genuine aluminium Aston Virage and Vantage body panels, based on a tubular
chassis.
Power comes from a Chrysler based 9.4 litre engine with supercharger on top.
Absolute output was kept secret, but performance figures were readily provided :
top speed on a ¼ mile drag strip is 160.4 mph, reached in only 8.9 seconds.
That is 6.9 seconds after reaching 60 mph. Yes, that's right : 0-60 comes up in
less than 2 seconds!
The best part of the Aston Martin drag racer is that it is road legal as
required by the rules of the Street Eliminator class it races in.
