I posted a link to this thread in the Street Racing board. Someone commented that they've seen that car in person. I'd love to see it!

Well I have a 1993 Metro as my work/bad weather car and I can do the 1/4 mile in about 30 seconds. I would love to know how much it cost him to mod that car, I've always wanted to have something like that to pull the rug out from under everyone on the road!!

How in the world is that a sleeper? It's all tubbed out and everything. That's no sleeper.

Gotta love turbos huh?

I was thinking that too. There is no interior or anything on that car, its just a shell. Only thing sneaky about it is that we don't expect anything from a Geo. And yes, you have to love turbo (s).

i wonder what size shot hes running? Weird to see that burning out from the rear rather from the front, almost looks like he needs some weight in the back to keep traction in every gear.

I don't think he is spraying. It is a V6 Buick GN motor with a huge turbo. Those motors are great for turbos
