“If Satan Were a Car, This Would be It”

"Just Lucky to be Here"

Rob has been beating on the Bugatti Veyron lately, and I don’t blame him. Even if I had a million and a half bucks laying around, I wouldn’t bother with that over-priced codpiece. That car is much more about status than performance, and Tom Cruise owns one. Everyone knows he’s a total tool, and other than the fact that we’re both male mammals, we don’t have anything in common. So even if I had a bazillion bucks, I’d want to keep it that way.

Anyway, when I stumbled across this video today, I knew I had to post it. Andy Frost’s 1972 Vauxhall Victor began life as a staid family car. It’s still street legal, but now it has a 9.3 liter V8, two thousand horses and quarter mile times that make the Bugatti look like a stock Taurus. Of course, the guys in the clip note that. Repeatedly. Check it out.

John,
Thanks for sharing that.. :)

I’ve often thought the same way about my pro street monza. I paid about 12 grand for it.. its street legal.. and can spank lambo’s or vipers or ferarri’s..

But only in a straight line of course.. I wonder how that guys car handles.. looked like it used pump gas.. probably boosts the octane up but still..

Nice post!
