  • P.S it was a 8.092 not 8.093 don't do yourself out of any glory

  • 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.

  • Parker, they need us over at the town hall immediately...... [this video]

    ; o D

  • Slicks on the road? Remember the UK has the fastest everything in drag racing.

  • btw love the car. great to see it running such good numbers right from the off

  • thumbs up if u ar seeing a rolls royce like this for the first time:)

  • sounded like a jet plane holy shit

  • who the fuck would dislike this? ITS AWESOME!!!!!!!

  • Needs more horsepower.

  • insane and brilliant!

  • 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.

  • @chrismido at 8 seconds he should be slowing if he did it in 7.9 seconds

  • As Jeremy Clarkson would say, POWER!!!

  • @chrismido The speed readout is merely showing speed over distance (i.e. the AVERAGE), not measuring the speed as it crosses the line.

  • @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

  • Totally mental. Love it :) The world needs more loons :)

  • (In a bad Jeremy Clarkson impersonation)

    POWER!!!!!!

  • sounds like a rocket when it goes off the line.

  • Bad ass, but it's not really a rolls any more.

  • Comment removed

  • Think of all that engine work paired with a more aerodynamic chassis!

  • 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?

  • @wgmotorsport

    Dear Sir, please unleash hell for all of us who hate honda civics, suzukis, fiat puntos and all the others ricer's out there.

  • that car looks nasty. like gooooood nasty.

  • 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 -_-

  • @MusicMatty93 Sad but true...

  • I can't help but think that this car is not a Rolls Royce. It's got some RR bodywork on it, but that doesn't make it one.

  • @DeadlyDeathOfTheDead

    Methinks you're taking this too seriously.

  • @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.

  • Top Gear status, what can you say? Awesome ride!!!

  • 2,000 horses, thats an illegal mexican barn, on wheels.

  • was it just me or did it brack the sound barrea !

  • Is that track wet, with puddles near the wall? Massive balls!

  • 0-200 mph in 6.9 seconds...my car wont even do 0-60 that fast... lol

  • and the loudest thing you can hear at 60mph is the 2000hp v8 in front of where the clock used to be...

  • 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

  • @harleynog The Super Sport is the top dog pal, and it will require something really special to take it down again.

  • Thanks for all the great comments come see us at Santa Pod on saturday 29 oct

    .check out the web sit wgracing .co.uk for our 2012 plans.Drag week in the USA the ultimate strret car challange.

    cheers again Matthew

  • I'm really Curious if the Bugatti Veyron has any chance against this. Does anyone know the top speed of this monster? :D

  • @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 :)

  • Man, i would like one of these for my Sunday drives and as my sleeper car...

  • Congratulations. You have made it on Topgear.com

  • I'm sure the green start light was on for over half a second before the car set off... That must have been well quicker than 8.093!!

  • wow, that is mad, id love to of built that thing

  • fuck me thats quick

  • Admire it from this angle, and now Admire it from another angle.

  • It even needs a taildragger to prevent it from flipping over like a motorcycle, WTF?

  • admire your achievement, have a cup of tea

  • Interesting build and an extremely respectable E.T. for a first pass.
