I'm glad to see its out of that lame car collection in Laughlin Nv. where I saw it last.(a long time ago) I remember walking around the corner and seeing it sitting there thinking to myself, it CAN'T end like this!

What was the top speed in its original configuration? 222 mph comes to mind.

Nice video but I think that hood scoop ruins the legend of "Big Red".

I totally agree with 110% Why they need to make the coolest car ever like an total idiot???

It has run over 220 mph without the ugly scoop.

When big red ran over 220 it wasn't in one mile. One mile comes fast. Those scoops are usually very aerodynamic and add horsepower because of the air forced in. I don't agree that he looks like an idiot when the hood has an actual function that improves performance for the application of that day. When your doing an event like that you don't sacrifice speed to make someone else happy, you go for it. That is why big red is big red.

Yeah bummer on the scoop, but whatever. It's still bad azz.

And yeah that ain't no pro touring car and doesn't even resemble one. Because it don't have Vintage Air.

Yes and no... Yes because it would be cool to see what she would run with a high boost tune... and no because i don't want to take the time to put more cage in it, send it out to get the high octane tune.(down time)

I would be curious no doubt to see what it would run though. I guess i could always sit back and bench race the mile with a calculator...

Very cool race car.

I was going to say...it sounds just like a Nascar at full song.

Rear tires sure make a ka-chunk when he puts it into gear....serious set-up for sure.
