Robert Killian 2000HP World's Fastest Rat Rod 28 Ford Street Legal

[@Mike583]

This video is almost 8 years old, I wonder if he still has it? Absolutely loved this when I seen it had a badass B.B. Ford in a Ford!❤😎

[@glennbrymer4065]

That motor just ripped. When he got off the line it was like an arrow going down the strip. I don't think he even had it opened up completely. Great run, great hot rod. Looking good gang.

[@kh40yr]

Jeez! a little more excitement for the Kaase motor. 7.40 is haulin balls for that big brick.

[@freakineagle]

It doesn't get any better than this!

[@JohnSmith-ws6jg]

I swear that half the people on here need to get a grip on their own manhood and quit the shit talking. Dudes got a badass ride here and that's all there is to it. If it runs that good by only half ass getting on it what does that say about you flogging the snot out of your ride and still not breaking into single digit times?

[@michaelrey8698]

John Smith Best comment EVER

[@dougatdesertdemongarage7777]

Yes it is a very cool ride but not a rat rod

[@Dld1985]

With 820 C.I. and as light as this car is 7.40 at 184.00 is expected. What I will say that shocked me is most any of these I have seen go guard rail hunting thus making them useless for running any type of decent 1/4 mile pass. Nice straight run. Didn't sound to me as he was running it hard yet still a nice number. This a Ratrod that does have some great performance to go along with it's radical street appeal. Good presence of mind to back up and restage after rolling the beam.

[@stormcloudnine2]

Why do people have to label everything. It is what it is. A cool car, way better than anyone here has.

[@dragonfly492]

Because their ass is broke and can't get one if they wanted, so they lash out like a child does in anger.

[@jeffreyanderson7665]

I definitely agree with not everything has to be labeled. Screw the t-shirts and back packs. Plus others , and your Pink is Stink !

[@sorshiaemms5959]

nothing like big block ford power

[@BrainTangler]

Hell yes!!! a Rat rod is what you want it to be. Nice to see one that isn't some no suspension rust bucket trying to fall apart. Kudos to you for building what you want... and you built one bad piece, sir. I hope I don't get the lane next to you... makes my 9 second rat seem tame. Sweet!

[@scottlindemann9536]

The term “rat rod” refers to an unfinished appearance of a hot rod. Basically a hodge-podge of car parts. When a part does not work or needs to be replaced, you don't go to the store to buy a new piece, you simply find it off of another vehicle and attache it on.

[@kosnmotion]

Was that his first time behind the wheel?

[@makattak3550]

Any other motor in a Ford is hilarious. Chev guys, get your own cars please. Kasse just proved this.

[@danielbrealey2924]

That was badass!!! Quick car, I'd love to see it do Drag week

[@poncoolride]

I almost thought this was Mission B.C. Canada when he came down the staging lanes. Badass car.

[@adammiller6606]

“ That’s the fastest Rat I ever did see”.Woo!

[@labrd41]

Actually a good looking car, well proportioned, clean stylish lines and obviously well engineered. Only a fool would be thinking this is a Rat Rod. Don't let the headlights and radiator fool ya, back in the day this would run in a competition coupe or altered class.

[@cyberslick18]

What exactly is high tech about a 820 big block inside a 1200 pound chopped frame?

[@incognito7479]

Love how those back tires hug the body.

[@morphman21]

What's the best et and speed on this thing?

[@primalk9704]

That is a wicked machine love it

[@rjrojas8456]

What track is that

[@LilJim420]

Anyone that dose not know but the burn out is to get the rubber on the wheel sticky for more traction before the race.

[@Phil00661]

Did that car become Coupzilla? That looked like Ronny on the track

[@72impalavert]

Does it have A/C?

[@raycarter6225]

sure.roll the windows down at 184

[@pkrbuford]

dude, this is THE JAM!! freakin awesome!

[@boosted2.4_sky]

7.4 and it didn't even look like he tried very hard...nice...

[@oldmusher]

It is if carburetors are high tech. And a home-made everything. Plus...the paint was applied in 1928. Is that high tech?

[@AmericanThunder]

Do you actually have a hp limit for your streets, or is that just a jest?

[@freakineagle]

Love what the Lady says at the end...."Euuhh, 184". Too funny. Awesome car Dude and great job.

[@freakineagle]

The most awesome RatRod ever!!!

[@Oberschlesier]

very nice video like that. Please more of such beautiful cars

[@JustVince88]

7 sec street legal. I absolutely adore it.

[@mrorangelightning]

My god, that thing is a fucking monster.

[@mine1username]

I have a strong feeling he has a lot left in the pedal. This must have been just a shake down run as they say.

[@wireflight]

7.405 @ 184.60. Street Ford, on (only) the motor and slicks. Jimminy Cricket!

[@AmericanThunder]

To qualify for "street legal", part of the test is to drive it for extended miles on the street, to the racetrack. The official "fastest street car on Earth" drove 1200 miles to the race track with the hood sealed shut with an official tape and then ran a 6.95 in the quarter. It was literally street legal.

[@cyclemaster4613]

DAMN ! That machine is DANGER !!!!!

[@SoutheastRaceCars]

We never called it a rat. Its just something we wanted to build. We liked the challenge of doing something that, to our knowledge, hadn't been done yet. Robert took it back to the track yesterday ( I had to work and didn't go). The vid should be up soon........lots of daylight under the front tires. BTW it has a tag, insurance, lights and turn signals, mufflers and does get driven on the street in Canton, Ga. occasionally. You should see the stares..... Steve

[@G-townProductions]

nice ride, still cool as hell and better craftsmanship than half the "rat rods" i have seen.

[@OffTheJacks]

Nice car! I just always think of a ratrod being a bit more nuts and bolts.

[@curiousmotors]

The people at Hot Wheels are jealous....

[@AmericanThunder]

I get your point, but what does exactly define a Rat Rod? Is it the budget involved? Maybe using 90% junkyard pieces define this class of vehicle? That actually sounds pretty accurate, I think.

[@GASpeedShots]

Do you know of one faster, how about yours let us know Thanks

[@fernandochaves9665]

Respect for putting a Ford in a Ford... I hate all those swaps...

[@IommiFan70]

I think I saw that car in Hot Rod Magizine that sucker is fast!

[@AdamKyleAnderson]

Is that it ?

[@MIBPMINC]

ok ... when you folks find a 2000hp motor and trans that can handle it laying in junkyard .. zip it together with rivets and sheetmetal screws ... make vid cos i would love to see it run 7.50 or even do 150mph in the quarter .. until then STFU about what IS a rat rod ... this is a cool SAFE ride!

[@choppersrule1]

i like it i like it it looks cool cheers mark

[@sunflowertrujillo4864]

Totally the coolest ❤️👍

[@illuminati1649]

This thing is a beauty 😍

[@Peachezz131]

That was friggin fast.

[@vipermech]

Thats getting it done!!

[@christiangilmore4243]

Wait did it flip at the end?

[@Greasekind14]

Now that mother is set up very well.

[@alhess78]

7.40 @ 180 is pretty fast in my book. Faster than your Honda:)

[@MonkeysIWant]

Now how this is street legal?

[@lieugebo805]

But I don't believe it makes 2,000 horsepower until I see it on a Dyno I've never seen John himself with this on KZbin that's an awful lot of horsepower to claim for 832 cubic inches

[@AmericanThunder]

Mine has 530, so I'm halfway at least. 1000 is insane. 2000 is... yeah.

[@gregorytimmons4777]

Nothing some kandy pearl tangerines paint wouldn't cure.

[@xavier415]

I think i would shard my pants if i drove that coffin on wheels. What a monster.

[@dylanfathbruckner2549]

i can handle it

[@xavier415]

I love the look of it. really sweet ride man.

[@dylanfathbruckner2549]

i plan on making something look like that except it has 6 wheels

[@stevehuntington2709]

Actually, a Rat Rod is taking parts from multiple vehicles and using them together to create a unique beast! I'd call this a Rat Rod. Good show

[@TheArfdog]

Car makes its run at 2:15....

[@jagray85]

Agree with GASpeedShots. Until someone shows up with proof of something faster. There could be a hundred of them. But until there is proof.

[@HksTopAndRock]

That is one fast Tank!

[@rooster7658]

Serious machine rite there

[@marksommers6764]

I'd get into alot of trouble with that car !

[@MrWhatnext]

Reminds me of the Munsters .... I could see Grandpa running with him.

[@jaykatcher1769]

Sikk...fckn bad ass!!!!

[@billfrench9218]

Not Just Bragging Right's, Proof !

[@noobydiablo]

well ive never driven a car with over 1000, so i wouldnt know. but theyre pretty relaxed on most other vehicle laws

[@LMGGhettoBlaster]

He does in fact drive this on the street. Almost any car can be evaluated and approved. Look up fastest street legal car.

[@rtkl13]

Not in California

[@lieugebo805]

I love this car is definitely tasteful I can't stand rat rods I wouldn't put this in the same category this is a race car built tastefully

[@stumpdiggitty]

The headlights are on? Really?

[@NorthEastLowrider4lyfe]

Burnouts NEVER lie

[@tanyyahreynolds4666]

they sholdve just said worlds fastest hot rod

[@charleslong5373]

7.4 seconds and 184.6 mph in the 1/4 mile. That indicates a 2000 hp engine with 1800 ft lb of torque.

[@AmericanThunder]

800 cubic inches??

[@raycarter6225]

bore x bore x stroke x number of cylinders x pi. 4.8 bore 5.7 stroke. Gm first one made was 1994

[@Munroman]

Love the "how about yours" LOL

[@vintagesurvivor]

Why does a 7 second run take 2.5 minutes to watch?

[@DaFlyinSkwirl]

now THAT is what I'm fucking talkin about!

[@Jaquoh]

7.4 seconds at 184.6 mph? God dammit. There are maybe 1 or 2 cars built today that could keep up with that.

[@aubreywhaley7729]

Coupzilla has some comp

[@oohok9179]

No Joke if i ever seen it - gone - need - a - parachute

[@adoreslaurel]

A great car for the track but it does not belong anywhere else.

[@dagenhamdave1681]

Pure insanity - pure ratrod!

[@stephenpemberton9943]

That blower hood looks like the fn grim reaper

[@fiddlerpin]

Take a dragster, drop an old coupe body on it and you have this.

[@saludahead]

That's a sedan!

[@AmericanThunder]

Only when the windows are down..

[@frankpagano9947]

awesome

[@csxriverlinecatches4736]

Don’t blink or you’ll miss

[@steveeddy6876]

Hmmmm do many street driven cars need a parachute??????

[@Kalkas53]

it speaks to me it says lets go get introuble

[@Gaetafix]

god I love rat rods so much im obsessed with them they're so beautiful!!!!! ;_;

[@thegreatbamboozler4837]

Ever had a wreck in one???? You may not love 'em as much afterward :(

[@Trollygag]

A ratty hot rod does not a rat rod make...

[@debbieclaussen8815]

2000 hp? Maybe post a dyno sheet

[@jackclark5220]

it's making 2000+. a big nitrous Sonny's Hemi makes big power

[@mayhew23451]

whatever he calls it its fast as hell

[@scottbarger1825]

Motor cost more than 20 rat rods.

[@AlbertaClimber]

I thought he was staging against the golf cart at first.

[@neurocytohemotoxic]

This is one of the most bad ass cars ever but its not a rat rod. Rat rods look beat up, typically have some body damage, and are CHEAP. You could buy 50 rat rods with the amount of money the owner of this car spent on that engine.

[@clivemitchell7677]

I thought Red Victor 5 was the quickest street legal car.

[@MTHOTRODS]

Great Ride, but sure as hell not a rat rod.

[@nastydog131]

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!
