Fastest street-legal car on the planet

This guy lives not too far from me in Manchester, Maryland. I saw the car parked at a drive-in event about a year ago, but did not know anything about it; just thought it was a wild custom.

Just featured in Carroll magazine in an article called "Car Crazy in Carroll"

Rod Saboury’s 1963 Corvette holds the record for being the fastest street-legal car on earth.

The Corvette has a custom made 2,400 horsepower twin turbocharged small block Chevy built by Moran Engines, which still gets 11 MPG highway

The Corvette does 0-60 mph in 1 second and 159 mph in 4.56 seconds. Covers the quarter mile in 6.96 seconds @ 210.54 mph

The car meets all Maryland state inspection requirements which require working headlights, tail lights, working doors, windshield wipers, turn signals, pump gas, and DOT approved tires.

And he even has an svxfiles hood prop.
