Red Victor is the world’s fastest street legal car - albeit a Vauxhall Victor built in a Wolverhampton lock up. We first met it a few years ago when it could do 0-60 in 1 second. Now the owner has made it even faster - and has invited us along to see if it can break a drag strip world record. Jonny becomes the world’s fastest passenger as he rides shotgun. Taken from Series 22 of Fifth Gear, first broadcast in 2013.

Does this car make all 3000 hp if you drove it on the street? And does it run on Ethanol, race gas, or Top Fuel/Nitro methane. (Does a full speed pass require rebuilding engine parts after?)

@user-dx4br5gd1r 10 месяцев назад

Tom is well into the 5's and actually pulls a trailer 1000 miles too. He is making nearly 5000 horsepower on Steve Morris' Dyno. Steve runs 6's in a full body street legal station wagon too...just sayin. You can't compare Tom to anyone else because Tom is the man The Dodge Demon C170 runs 8's from the factory. The red car here is pretty to look at but he'd be destroyed if he raced in America. Y'all build cute cars over there. We build the unthinkable in America.

That's just stupid. You're comparing a slow red car from the UK to a car that took teams of mechanics, engineers and tons of funding (as well as many other issues) just to do what an SCC, Bugatti or Hennessy can nearly do without the support groups continuously pouring over it. Tom Bailey, Steve Morris, Cleatus McFarland....there are many cars and drivers in America that would make this red car seem slow.

LICENSE plates! so that probably lets out that monster right there. Check out some of the footage of the guys trying to win those jackets......

It wasn't street legal when doing the runs either.. had slick drag tyres on it. The are most probably swapped when the thing goes out on the road once a year to get an M.O.T. Not sure how well it would fare on noise either, but there are no strict rules on that and probably ok driving on road in a light throttle or low boost set up.
