Fastest car in the world

A Wolverhampton man has spent 25 years and £100,000 on turning a £60 banger into the world's fastest car. Andy Frost has turned his 1972 K-reg Vauxhall Victor into a supercar capabale of 0-60 in just one second.

The car is fitted with a modified 9.3-litre Chervrolet engine and takes just 7.8 seconds to hit 183mph, reports The Sun.

Andy said: "We could've had a bigger house. But we have a unique car faster than any other on the road."

Wife Debbie said: "The car's become like one of the family."

All of this extra juice -- the 9.3L V8 propels this car from zero to 60mph in just one second, yes just one -- didn't come cheap, however, as Frost has "invested" about 100,000 British Pounds into this monster. The best part of it all: it is 100% street legal... though, you probably wouldn't want to do your daily errands in this thing, as it barely gets five miles to the gallon.
