How is it (the reliant vs supra video) funny? That's a 10 second car, that's going to put the smack down on 80% of the street legal cars out there. That includes porsches, lambos, ferarris etc etc etc. It's not funny, just life.

How did that Reliant become a 10-second car ?

And... so much for "aerodynamics".

I'm sure it's spraying a whole shit load. Light weight + tons of nitrous = fast car.

There's *no* nitrous in that Reliant, sorry ;)

You said it could beat any street legal car... is nitrous street legal ? (I really don't know)

Actually, I don't think so. It may be a state-by-state thing. But after further inspection of the video it just looks like the car doesn't have nitrous. It may be turbo charged and launched at high RPMs. (That's one sick launch.)

There is a whole site devoted to that car. It details the construction, and the entire setup.
Just like the 10second dodge caravan.

I don't think any caravans have broken into the 11s yet let alone the 10s. There are a lot in the 12s though :).

You have to click on The reliant over on the left to read about. NO nitrous although he has used it in the past back when he was still running in the 11s or 12s. He recently blew the engine in it on the dyno.
