Red Victor 1 is something similar, but he races on standard fuel too and does 7.41 on it. Look at the Frosty TV link to see lots of video, including two profession segments from Fifth Gear. They got one thing wrong - he doesn't examine the engine every time he drives it around town.
I think it`s better in a sense, because he started with such an inappropriate car. The Vauxhall Victor he`s using was a crappy family car built in 1972. Aerodynamics weren`t even considered because it was never meant to go over about 80.

Idiots.
