I love this thing...

Looks like a real handful.

I certainly wouldn't want to see what that might unleash left on its own XD

I'd guess he's looking over the side of the car to see where the road is...since the hemi and the front of his car is obscuring his view of the track.

A perfect example of power-to-weight ratio

Kinda like taxiing a big tail-dragger airplane.

I thought of that car as soon as I read the thread title. I love it too, one of my all time favorites. Looks just as good standing still.

Did Revell do something similar with their Healey kit?

No, there's was stock if i remember correctly. Forum member Cliff Read ( traditional ) did one though!

Perhaps the sudden acceleration knocked him unconscious.

Maybe it's just a little body-English. There doesn't seem to be any other way to steer the thing at the moment.

What's 'body-English'?

Best Healey I've ever seen though!

to lean your body one way or another to direct, unsuccessfully I may add, an object in which you have no control over. like a bowling or golf ball. any sports item really is the best example.

I've been meaning to post these pictures. I saw this car at the Mopars at E-town show last August.

Imagine having that Torqueflite explode at your feet?

And I saw this considerably less powerful version at a local show this summer. It had a 9" rear and a tubular sub-frame. It was "done right". The owner joked about it being a budget Cobra.

Thanks Al, it's a new one on me but I like it a lot!
