Autoblog: Ze Swiss have gone mad: 1,050-hp 1956 Mercedes Gullwing drag car

nice!

though he should've put a blower on the merc 7l V12 and have used that engine...

It's so wrong it's right in theory, but actually it's too wrong to be right with some Chevy engine. It needs a V12 from zie faderland jaah!
 
^But if it used a Germany engine, it wouldn't be neutral anymore.
 
I talked with the owner a bit once as the drag week in Hockenheim runs at the same time as the formula student competition there. Even his son has his own tiny mini-dragster.

Can get a bit noisy in the boxes when they all rev and warm-up their dragster engines in the box next to you.
