I don't know, but can you imagine the surprise some must get when they try to run him on the street. He must laugh to himself, if someone wants to race.

Marty, as it turns out he "modified" his listing today on dragtimes.com, so it lists todays date, but I think this has been an existing run for some time. Either way, I think he has the 911 turbo record. Will he be at the TX meet when you are there?

I saw this car run about 10 years ago at Moroso at those Drag Warz events, he did drive it in, I was sitting next to him in my RX-7 waiting in line to get into the park, heard the turbo and thought something was up with that car..... never did I think he would pull wheelies in 1st, 2nd gear....

this car is still around?

Hi,

Thanks for posting, even if it is an older listing the time is ridiculous, and that video is simply mind boggling.

Cheers,
Nik

Lol, exactly Joe! Maybe 2000lbs, that thing was gutted beyond belief! BUT it pulled MASSIVE wheelies in 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd gears! Used to see him run it at Atco all the time (or was it ETown). I've never seen anything like it before, nor to this day - simply unbelievable!
