    The answer to that is always going to be "someone else by tomorrow"



    Other than that, do you mean fastest, or quickest or both or either, or fastest in either category?
    Street legal, or strictly race car?
    Any size engine or type of car?

    If Duke doesn't mind, and since we had an ET thread a while ago, let's say fastest in MPH/KmH period.

    Not over a given distance, not from any special start, just top speed period.

    Also not street vs race specific,

    Just the car (preferably the "traditional" car that brought you to the hamb, but I think it might be interesting either way) with the fastest top speed...

    deuce roadster - that might not be fast yet, but has all the makings of very cool already!

    my old bomb is pretty quick, on the drag strip it can do a minute in 30 seconds plus on the open road it's real economical...gets a full tank between fill ups :)

    Ahh I'd probably have the 2nd slowest car in all catergories...going by the photo above ha!

    "Does that thing got a HEMI???"

    I think Sam's may be the quickest race car (with the Racefab prepped sbc) and Ryan's 38 may have ***le for quickest street car..

    If Rocky can have the faster car in the 20 sec range, I can have the fastest barge...

    Not finished yet but I'm building a RAT ROD '32 PICKUP 2DR 4wheel DRAG BONNEVILLE COUPE OVAL TRACK ROADSTER to sell on e-bay. Its going to have a Saturn 2nd stage booster for a starter. The engine is a SUPERSECRET (tm) 17 cyl (3,587ci) triple underhead cam OHV FLATHEAD that Germ had laying around from one of his aborted projects.
    We're expecting ET's in the mid 2's at around 900MPH.
    Don't even ask what the RESERVE is.

    I have only seen a few cars actually move ON the HAMB.

    two of the faster ones would be Sam doing his doughnut and

    Ryan doing a short blast in a quiet nieghborhood..

    'tween the two I'd hafta say Ryan.

    but tell you whut, MINE feels like it's doin' about a hundred and fifty in the alley out back!

    Let me get "The Gay Car" out to Cecil County Drag-O-Way and see what she'll do in the quarter. I'm dying to know anyway and this is a damn good excuse! Hmmm... 402 Big Block in a light car with the aerodynamics of a brick wall...Should be interesting..

    I think Sam's Ego Rama Roach Rod times beat Ryan's Mokan times.
    But wasn't this big *** Mercury (Don't remember the owner) in the 12s.

    I'm pretty sure Sam has me beat now too...

    That said, the '38 does have a few low 12 second p***es on a similar motor with real slicks, open exhaust, and a pretty sticky track. Still - that was then, this is now.

    It's no secret. RM bottom end is still in the car. I just changed cam, heads, intake, and carb in an effort to make it more streetable. It has worked to a degree and the car still runs good. My biggest problem is traction. At MOKAN I was lighting the tires till the 1/8 mile mark. Best time was a 13.26 at 114mph - that mph is pretty telling.

    At the NHRA Nostalgia Drags at Thundervalley in 98, I ran a complete race setup with Barry Grant 1050 Dominator, Brodix X11 heads, my lumpy schneider cam, modern 8" goodyear slicks and ran something like a 12.10 or so. Traction was still a problem - we squirted nitrous a few times too just to make it worse...
