Yesterday we showed you an awesome wheel stand performed by a heavily modified Ford Pinto. We thought it was the coolest drag-related video we’ve seen this week, but that changed today when we found a much more interesting video.
And that because it has a 400-foot (122 meters) wheel stand in it, performed by a rusty-looking but powerful Chevrolet Nova. We’re talking about no less than 1,100 horsepower that get sent to the rear wheels via a twin-turbo 370 cubic inch (6.0-liter) LS engine that still has a stock block and stock crank.
The Nova’s quarter mile runs are equally impressive, and the one you’re about to see below was achieved in 8.76 seconds and at 156 miles per hour (251 km/h). Scroll below for the video.
