Thumbs up World Record 1/4 Mile Clip?

Dunno whether this has been posted before. Car looks road legal

The guy commenting says it is a world record but is it?

YouTube - Viper twin turbo 1900 hp 7.99 1/4 mile

Hmm..
1900 HP in a viper would be allot hella faster than that.
If Rigolli does it faster with a stroked 2 lt 4 cyclinder (TRP Suby) then these guys should be ashamed.

Yeah - and it gets better:

I read it does:

0-60 in 0.16 seconds
0-100 in just 0.3 seconds
terminal velocity of 385mph
25000bhp from a NASA lunar module rocket

He got nose and ear bleeds from the G, but also because he needed to drive lying down to stop him blacking out!

He's dead now!! Legendary rocket car pilot Slammin' Sammy Miller was killed in an accident on Tuesday 29th October 2002 whilst working in the Texas oilfields for his company Applied Force. The incident was unrelated to any of his own work.

He was going to go for the world land speed record, but unlike other vehicles that do the same, he wasn't going to take 6 miles or so to run up to max.....he was going to do it in a mile.

He died before it came to fruition!

Now HERE IS A SHOW!!
