I like how the whole car twists right before he launches that beast. Pretty impressive burnout given the size of the contact patch those monster tires must have. I get the same feeling when I spin the tires in my 190D (of course I'm in gravel when that occurs and it lasts for maybe a half a second).

Just don't try to make any turns. I'll bet it handles like a swimming pool.

I'll bet it handles better than a W123.

It's obviously set up as a drag car. You dont do slaloms well with a narrowed rear end. Cool Car!

That thing is pretty sick! I came across that while searching for hotrod diesel cars. Somewhere there is a Cummins powered early 70's Monte Carlo, too. Unfortunately none of the vids had them getting into the Cummins at all, just cruising around.

Edit: Here you go. Diesel Monte Carlo

And one of my favorites, a Cummins Rat Rod
