Matt don't listen to the weirdos who just thrive on putting people down, yes it might not be everyones taste but nor is Marmite. it did sound awesome, stranegly it sounded different from the centre of the track. The noise that's making it sound like a rocket is the tyres rippling on the sticky track, that's the most promenent sound i heard (i'm the fat git in the red t-shirt and hi viz), i guess the exhausts were aiming the sound outwards and upwards. fantastic time for a first run.
I wouldn't do that if I had a Rolls (not into tuning/moding I like cars in their original state) but nice work ;) I saw it on Top Gear site titled as "Refinement Fail". By the way, how much was it (car and the modifications)? -just curiosity.
@rdwill999 That 168mph reading at the end is the speed the vehicle is doing as it crosses the finish line. If you watch more drag racing, you would know. The losing car can finish with a higher top speed. It happens a lot.
@rdwill999 ummm, the speed read out is showing to terminal speed, aka the speed he was travelling AT the finish line. it is not showing average speed, you don't know what you're talking about
I hate it when people call me stupid .Its road legal and entering Drag week in the states to find out the world fastest real street car ..Oh and TOP GEAR like it do they like your road/race car???
@wgmotorsport Awesome build, love that you chose an RR body for such a monster - and then passed an MOT with it!? Don't listen to the haters, seems some people can find something negative to say about everything...
@wgmotorsport I can tell you right now it won't be the fastest IF Larry Larson shows up. His Nova/Chevy II ran in 6.96@ 209 a few years back, driving it 1200 miles to and from the event.
However...it's not a Rolls Royce. What is the curb weight on your Roller?
i hate it when people so "worlds fastest rolls royce" or something along those lines about there race car. Not one bit of that car excluding the shell on the car. is actually rolls royce. Stupid -_-
@DeadlyDeathOfTheDead It has the original body of a 1974 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow I. Obviously you're not gonna strap that massive engine onto a stock Rolls chassis, but he wanted it to still be somewhat of a Rolls, and safe to drag.
sorry but can everybody stop raving about the Bugatti.. it was knocked off the top spot ages ago, the only interesting the bit about them is they cost more to make than what they sell for.
@harleynog its not knocked off the spot? lol, its still the fastest production streel legal car, however there are obviously non street legal cars faster, and a few non full production cars faster, the hennessey venom gt might be faster? (hasnt beeen tested for top speed yet as far as i know) but its production is so low, i wouldnt call it a production car
@donbalauro No where near a Veyron, has extremely short gearing and only 3 gears! Acceleration stakes the Veyrons fucked, but this has shit aerodynamics and therefore will do (only!) 200 at a push. It's still brilliant, Just not built for stop speed :)
P.S it was a 8.092 not 8.093 don't do yourself out of any glory
