Blastolene B-702


Blastolene B-702

If I ever become a crime-fighter THIS will be my car.
Designed and built by American engineer Randy Grubb, the car is now owned by Jay Leno.
It weighs 9,500 pounds and it is 21 feet long.
BUT...it can pull the quarter mile in 14.7 seconds at 93 mph and has a 140 plus top speed.
Why?
Because it has an 810 horsepower Continental AV1790 tank engine.
Well it started out that way, Jay had fuel injection and twin turbochargers added and now it puts out 1,600 horsepower.
Listed at "only" $250,000, this beauty gets about 5 miles to the gallon.
