This would have to be the best car I’ve ever seen on Ebay.
You’ve got to love that quote “I think it’s street legal”. imagine firing it up at the traffic lights and melting the bumpers of the 35 cars behind you. :hihi: :hihi: :hihi:

Cheers, Danny

Yeah its on the Skyline forums too.

Just imagine high stalling this at a set of lights. I think braking would cause you problems too, it would be one of those situations where ABS and Traction control are pointless.

Imagine sticking to the "Wipe of 5 rule", no chance.

I think its one awesome car and setup but one very suicidal piece of machinery on 4 wheels.

Maybe Casper can buy this as his traffic light drag car???

Not sure how it qualifies as rice? (as per the thread title).

Top speed of 180mph (290km/h)+ is pretty impressive. Would be a bargain for the Lake Eyre salt flats events held each year!

I vote photoshop. The shot from behind looks wrong. The tail light seem to simply merge into the jets. The front wing looks pretty real though!

I thought photoshop, the rear photo look dodge. But the engine bay (jet bay) photo looks too good.
