Great locals hop near Raleigh. I remember the first time I saw it at a local cruise, just Badass.

And it didn't start its life as a GT500. It was a nitrous burn victim.

Too cool, $$$$ talking there

Pretty cool, what's it run at the track?

It's an old school pro street car, it's not meant for the track. It's a 60s to 80s type of car build that included big tucked tires, roll cages, and often blowers and bug catchers. Think drag car built for the street. this may explain it better: http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/what-pro-street-car-1426643-singlepost13.html

Fair enough, bad car just the same.

I would have to roll it down the track just once though.

Whoa, whoa...

Those cars were built to emulate race cars. Sure, some of them were wimpy, but from the very start the 'pro street' thing was about a lot of tire and horsepower.

 

[Rasmus]

I don't see me saying they were wimpy, underpowered, or slow anywhere?

I happen to know that this pro street car will never, ever see the track. Power output was plenty for the owner/builder's purpose, but it wasn't the primary objective for this build, which was merging old school with new car.

still badass either way lol

Don't get me wrong, it is different but it just isn't my cup of tea to be honest.
