What do you reckon the top speed would be? 350 km/h +? with 2000 hp and such a relatively small front cross section you'd hope it would get close to 400km/h?

That motor seems like it's sitting pretty low, how did the oil pan clear ?

Slill have the stock steering box ?
Must have been a project in itself just to build and get the headers in there .

stock box, custom oil pan. most of the headers nelson builds are tough, its all about a good fabricator that we share

Necro posting for the loss.

I saw a video of this thing breaking them loose in gear the other day. That is all.

Their's vids of this car on youtube now btw. Just look up nelson racing rx7. Youtube video claims 1600, not 1000. Probably still pretty far off, but this thing is pretty nasty either way.
