Thumbs up Fastest Street Legal Car

Hey take a look at this, thought i would just post this since it has more horsepower than a Bugatti and it cost this guy only $100,000 to build it, not like the $1,000,000 + Bugatti (even though the Bugatti is still cool) Well here is the website and make your own decision. Its called Red Victor 1.
If i didn't mention it goes 0-60 in 1 SECOND.

Here's the video:

I remember seeing that a while back. That is a pretty sick car, though I bet the Bugatti gets better gas mileage. I'd also hate to open that car up anywhere other than a drag strip. Driving around a corner and you accidentally breathe too much on the gas pedal and you'll be pulling your car out of a tree on the other side of the bend. Certainly what one could call a purpose built car.

Cool idea, but that thing would fail on a track.. I don't know.. I'd definitely rather have a ZR1

I read a few comments and this got way off topic. I'm pretty sure they mean faster street legal car in drag racing, not on a stretch of highway. But anyway that video is false. Maybe the fastest in the UK, but there are PLENTY of faster street legal cars in the states. My neighbor for example: AMC Javelin with a 638ci nitrous motor that has run 7.82 seconds fully street legal. He was running E. T. streets which are hardly different that slicks, but still considered legal. Plus many people have been saying words sort of like "streetable." This car is STREET LEGAL not STREETABLE. and dont get me started on gas mileage. Come on.
