Most Powerful car at Summernats on the Dyno...

[Kangaroo Boy]

I was reading Street Machine (car mag).Each year we have a huge Motorshow called summernats where people bring their bride and joy to do burnouts,and other car related competitions.Anyway one of the competitions is called HorsePower heroes.Anyway,the guy who won it was in a old school commodore with 1400rwhp on the wheels with twin turbo V8.But there was also another car up for the task with a bit of power,A 1958 Goggomobil.It was cheap sports car with fiber glass body with 2 stroke 2 cyclindar engine built last century.Anyway,just for fun the car got on the dyno to produce a WORLD RECORD of 3.2 RWHP.lol..My lawnmover has more power.Anyway it got a Unoffical award for the car with lowest horsepower at summernats..Not the DART...
