But Tom doesn't say its his motor, Tom doesn't take all the credit and is a very humble guy. Gives the credit where its needed and does a good job with it. Also says "his" motor is designed to last forever and be great for the street, Yet stated at the start of the video that's a brand new motor and in less then 2 days it grenaded with only probably 5-7 passes on it.....

The only rule for Hot Rod Drag week is that the car has to drive from track to track for a week with no "support" vehicle. Larry Larson drove his S10 pulling a trailer from Kansas City, Mo to Las Vegas & back a couple years ago & ran a 5.95 / 250 pass. I would say towing a trailer 3000 miles would qualify as a "street car". Larson & Tom Bailey have been in the 5s for almost 10 years. Bailey has run 5's on DOT legal tires, too.

[@SJR_Media_Group]

Great power to weight ratio... if you can effectively transfer power to the pavement, your power/weight ratio determines ET and Trap Speed. 1 to 1 is the magic baseline - (1,000 hp / 1,000 lbs) Top Fuel is probably 10 to 1. I developed curves awhile back that graphed P/W with estimated ET and MPH. I used actual data from different forms of motor racing to check my methods. Estimated and actual numbers were very close. Also, graphed G's using P/W. 1 G = 21.9 mph/sec/sec. If your car accelerates at 1 G (average), you are going 219 mph after 10 seconds. Top Fuel has amazing P/W and launches at high G's. In real life as speed increases aerodynamic drag increases, resulting in G's that are lower over time.

[@CanadaBud23]

Exactly for the most part built cars are usually in far better shape and their systems are pretty far above what the minimum that the factory puts out. Also on the other side some of these cars are badly put together as well and are just as bad as the cheap scrap the manufacturers put out so. Luckily in a lot of place exceptions can be made per case. I used to get pulled all the time for my mods but multiple trips to the garage for safeties after having plates yanked tells them too that that vehicle is fine and noted to be in better shape than a lot of cars on the road. They stopped pulling me over for it now. Lol it only took years though 😆😄

The definition of street legal car has changed since I was a younger man. This Cutlass could never be street legal in most states. I won’t waste the time to list all the reasons. It is cool as Hell though.

What a cool story. Bought the car brand new off the showroom floor. Seem like a bunch of really cool, knowledgeable dudes. The build quality on that car is insane. Rod's hair is epic LOL

Why do they keep saying street car. Street legal where?

The heat color of the headers shore is purdy. What a beast!!

I feel like cars like this are what the EPA points to when they say "anything with a VIN cant be modified" even though they make up like a .001% of the car enthusiasts

No, they are talking about all of us. Even if nothing like these cars existed, they'd still be coming after you.
