| Post subject: | worlds fastest street car |
found this on net If you absolutely had to stake your mortgage on what?s the fastest accelerating street-legal car in the world, what do you suppose you?d go for? A Ferrari, perhaps, or a Lamborghini? Maybe a Porsche or an AMG Merc? Any one of a dozen exotic names, like as not. But, unless we?re very wrong, you probably wouldn?t bet on a K-registered 1993 Vauxhall Calibra. No, under this Calibra?s bulging but still instantly recognisable body work you?ll find a rather bigger punch ? from an 11.5-litre (yes that?s right) an 11.5-litre big-block Chevrolet V8 that again isn?t exactly Vauxhall but is at least part of the GM family. And if that isn?t enough, the mighty engine that Steve Pateman also largely built himself has nitrous injection, and claims a maximum power output of 1400bhp. So ?adequate?, then. 0-60? How about 1.25 seconds - enough to make motorbikes and F1 cars blush beetroot red. Certainly enough, even before he crossed the Atlantic, to have given Steve and the Calibra the title of fastest street legal car in Europe some time ago. But this time, the scalps were American and Canadian, too. Best times so far: 1/4 mile in 8.14 sec @ 174mph 0 - 60 in 1.25 sec would post pics but don't know how to |
