Oh, oh, oh, I'm making a Ludicrous Claim®! Read the first post!

[Jay]

I love how he owned a car that didn't exist.

No no no you're wrong, because here is what he said to me, his proof

viper...that car in the photo is my car...

1968 Dodge Charger White Knight Special in other words chrysler australia also known as valiant...it is #36 of 500 genuine White Knight Specials produced in 1968

so before you show any more of your lack of knopwledge i suggest u find something else to talk about in another forum because u have just proven to me you know nothing at all

Well I must know nothing at all then......... hang on

Haha but the car still never existed.

 

[Snortin Norton]

Should've Wikipwned him.

 

[Danny]

I PM'ed him and he seemed genuine.

 

[Jay]

His 1150rwhp 426ci 7.6 second street Chrysler seemed genuine?

 

[Tornado]

Especially with the 1967 body on a 1968 car?

 

[GT Pro]

It's possible though he'll need some good evidence.

 

[ExigeEvan]

Personally, I wouldn't have been happy untill I saw the Dyno charts. That was a hell of alot of power he was claiming.

No it sounds totally bogus to me, if it was his car (and the times were real) it would make it the fastest street legal dragster in the world!

The current official holder of that title is actually a Vauxhall Calibra (no honest), with just a few mods, such as.

Vauxhall Calibra Body on a full tube chassis 706ci (11.5 ltr) Alluminium Big Block Engine
- Fully Street Legal, MOT, tax, full exhaust system, treaded tyres, runs on normal unleaded petrol
- Street car champion in 1999, 2001, 2002 and 2003.
- World Street Race Champion 2005 (held in America), making it world’s fastest streetcar
- Best times so far:
1/4 mile in 8.14 sec @ 174mph
0 - 60 in 1.25 sec

Now consider that this car claims 1,400bhp and runs 8.14 second quarters, and is the winner of multiple championships. Compare that with our (now banned) 'members' claim of a 7.6second car from 1150bhp, and keep in mind that the above Calibra can be googled with ease for info, unlike the claimed car.

Ludicrous claim? Just a little.

Very cool, thanks for the update, amd more ammo to quite clearly show how ludicrous the claim was.

Thats road legal?!

This does breaks into 7's aswell but looks a lot more like a road car than that (not sure if its street legal)

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

sheps not on street tyres and not on 93 octane fuel iirc

 

[Danny]

it cost me quite alot to rebiuld as it was quite far gone when i got it...
i dont worry about those fools...the fact is they need confirmation becayuse they are insecure and lie themselves...well as for me i have no reason to do so...

:/

 

[Metar]

How comes such cars are street-legal?

 

[Dave A]

Because they still have everythign you need for them to be street legal, hell if a motorised sofa can be street legal you can make a car that's fast in a straight line street legal too.

 

[Metar]

Hmm... so that Dual-Bike thingy i'm building could be street-legal in the states? Cool.

 

[Dave A]

Potentially, making something roal legal uisually jsut means making a few modifications to it. You can make an Audi R8 LeMans car road legal with the right modifiaction. You need to check on your local laws.

 

[Metar]

Sweet. But as far as I know, road-legality in Israel means it has to be a stock car from a known manufacturer - even exchanging the rims on your car is not completely legal - they have to be rims authorized by the local dealer of your car company. Sad thing here .

EDIT: I tried googling, but it didn't show any laws telling what a car has to do/have in order to be street-legal.

You would have to phone the appropriate department of your local government, and ask them about it.

In Isreal?


Kidding, kidding.

 

[Duke]

Guys? Can we take the "street legal" conversation to the Automotive board, please? Since we've debunked Mr. Mopar, it's not exactly relevant here. Thanks.

 

[opendriver]

When david hasselhof becomes president....


Dont ask...

 

[Dave A]

I think theres some sarcasm in that post, since it's blatantly obvious it's untrue . Still a ludicrous claim though.

 

[Sakiale]

Wanna hear a ludicrous claim?

My friend lives in Woodside--the slums of Queens--and his friend is some Spanish guy, who acts all gangsterlike. Aside from various claims of being in knife- and gunfights, he also said this--

"Yo, my dream car is a 1991 Toyota Supra, man. Put some NAWWSSS on it and that **** will fly man! My dad has one, and he got it up to 250 mph, man. Seriously, Im not kidding! That sh** will fly, mine'll be all pimped out with the turbos and tha NAWSSS and it can go 500 mph man!

 

[Dave A]

Your friends friend is a moron.

 

[G.T]

I'm pretty sure he's just joking.

Or is he?!

 

[Sakiale]

No, my friend isn't a moron. His friend who I don't really know is.

He knows that his friend hasnt been in any gunfights, and that a supra can't go above 140 mph.

G.T, he wasn't joking. . But I dont know him (only met him once) so I don't care.

 

[32' Lover]

Oh yeah well, my step brother has a Oldsmobile Achieva.

Tested on the Long Island Expressway, surely. With traffic. During rush hour.

 

[McLaren]

Why is that not surprising? Hell, I've heard kid a say some friend of his in Dallas went 390Mph on bike on the highway. Wtf? He would have been off the bike in a second. I said, it'd have to be 390Kph, and even then, that's 240Mph, and I don't think there's a bike with 2 turbos, and is road legal enough to do that.

Ahhh, I'll have to post the link here to this kid at ForzaCentral who claimed to do a conversion, and now has an excuse for every piece of evidence I find.
