My apologies for having an opinion that differs to yours, nic barnes.
I know you have a fast corsa and a fast bmw diesel so I wont step out of line again, incase your army of bum lickers hunt me down.

It's the quickest time set by a car that can be driven legally on the roads. Can't undestand how that is so hard to get?

Wheelie bar and wheels then off to the shops. To me it's damn impressive.

i think the narrow minded people are the people who cannot see why its being labelled the fastest road legal car.
its being pedantic really.

the fact it can't do a 1/4 miles on the road in 6.59 seconds
i know it's road legal. i'm not a fucking idiot. i can see it's being driven on the road.
but it didn't set the time with those street tyres on.
i clearly have a point as it seems half agree and half disagree.

It wasnt in its road legal form when it set the time therefore i cannot see how it holds a road legal time

Even if slick tyres and wheelie bars were allowed on te road, it wouldn't run a 6.59 because the road surface is shit.
Does that mean that as it was a time set on a properly prepared drag racing surface, it's not valid either?
If there's a problem with the car, surely there must be a problem with the place the run took place?
I can't believe how far off the mark I am with the title. My bad.

you could show up in a car that is road legal and spend 2 days altering it to the point its no longer road legal, but it still has tax and test, what then
my problem isnt the car, its the rules that allow changes that means it can still be classed as road legal, when in fact it actually isnt when it races
