Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational

Here's a preview for an interesting competition that happened immediately following SEMA this year. Oon Nov 7th, the day after SEMA ended, selected street cars were driven in a 4 phase competition to see who has the best street car. The cars were timed on an auto-cross course and a road course, tested in a speed-to-stop challenge, and judged on design & build.

This is just a teaser, but I know I'll be setting the Tevo for this show when it lands on the Speed Channel. Looks like there will be some sweet cars in attendance that are actually driven... not just trailered to a show.

Shelby 427 bored & stroked out to 482.....WITH a blower = 10.62 at 135

The guy that designed and built my engine has a 80 Capri with a N/A 347 that runs 10.17 at 133. I know that he has less than 30K in it.
 
Maybe even a clutch pedal cover?

You missed the super cool, jet engine button by the shifter :coo
 
it sounds pretty good in the video... on another note, a second look at the site and i noticed the pricing was as of 03.11.2008. Wonder where its went since then. Maybe its up around 400K now!
 
I saw one of the Wraith Ecars at the Goodguys show in Nashville

Well I have an "Eleanor" coupe so I don't think anyone will care what I think!

But I liked it! It was a race car with license plates.
