Rumor has it he has a platform in his garage that lowers the car into his basement man cave where he stores it.. and yes, fully street legal, drives it around town often.. awesome build!
Rod is the real deal, I live down the street from him. I’ve seen this car in a drive-thru, at cruise nights, sitting in traffic.... it’s a real street car. Check out his truck, Blowermax
true car guy, humble as fuck, it gets so tiring listening to guys with giant egos talk about how they will smash the competition and no one can beat them. its great hearing a guy with something he built saying "well hopefully we'll top the record today but were just here to have fun"
Reminds me of the guys who drove from Memphis in "The Prostitute." All the dude did was talk shit. Clearly was high on drugs and just overall annoying af. Not humble. Though, it's clear when someone's acting like that it's because there's a problem in their own life ... annoying af nonetheless.
That's how Europe is. Taxed on engine size, power, emissions. You pay more if your catalytic converters aren't the latest euro technology. They can impound your car if they find mods on it, even if they add 5hp. So FUCKING happy to be in the states
Tom Bailey ran 5.77 with his Sick 2.0, even after a 1.000 miles trip. That car is street legal and is faster (even having less power). The Sorceress has a lot of potential with that powerhouse under the hood, though.
And Tom's car actually looks like a normal car for the most part. To me if you have stock tail lights that doesnt make it a street car. this isn't a street car, again that's to me. I'll probably get flamed for this
I agree that thing looks nothing like a street car in my opinion... I mean soon they're going to have to put a cap on horsepower looks more like a pro mod
@@adamwest2130 A street car is any car legal for street use. It doesn’t have to look like a “normal” car, whatever that means. There are “normal” looking cars that aren’t street legal.
@@johncarl5505 I hate to tell you a full tube chassis car is not a street-legal car. I'm sorry it might be street legal in one state. A full-blown race car is not a street car
this car needs to get to a drag and drive event, and prove it's actually the fastest. i'm not a nut swinger here, but i'm pretty sure tom's car has been 5.6x's in actual race mode with no drag week gear. this is where micro-records get muddy though. does it only count if the car weighs XXXX? does it only count if the car has completed a D&D? etc. either way, rod's car is something to behold. i saw it at PRI in 2016. glad to see it out there getting figured out.
The only rule for Hot Rod Drag week is that the car has to drive from track to track for a week with no "support" vehicle. Larry Larson drove his S10 pulling a trailer from Kansas City, Mo to Las Vegas & back a couple years ago & ran a 5.95 / 250 pass. I would say towing a trailer 3000 miles would qualify as a "street car". Larson & Tom Bailey have been in the 5s for almost 10 years. Bailey has run 5's on DOT legal tires, too.
Michigan guy, right there with ya..Bailey's 2.0 is looking to own that record again, and the new nitro wagon he's putting together is twice as insane..

Tom Bailey talked about this car in his TOP 5 FASTEST STREETCARS in the WORLD!!! video. It only came in at #5 with a 5.99, but now it's gotten faster. The only thing it's missing is a drag and drive event. Hopefully soon.
Yeh right. I had to look up what constitutes "Street legal", and the rules seem so vague and basic it's easy now to see how this can be called "Legal". - Seat belts - Working horn - Working head, tail, turn lights - Bonnet - Doors - License plate - etc Meanwhile in Straya..... "Mate, ya window tint is too dark. Defect!"
Man, Rod and his team are a class act! Super genuine people, that love showing the car as much as they love racing it! They even cycled the hood for ya, and were GENUINELY happy to do so!
Lots of people commenting about the street legal status. Hell I'm a mechanic, and I see normal cars everyday, that shouldn't be legal to drive on the street. Bald ass tires with the wires sticking out, brakes worn down to the metal, frames/bodies so rusted out, the suspension should fall off, and all those cars drivers have no problem flying down the freeway at 70+mph everyday.
Exactly for the most part built cars are usually in far better shape and their systems are pretty far above what the minimum that the factory puts out. Also on the other side some of these cars are badly put together as well and are just as bad as the cheap scrap the manufacturers put out so. Luckily in a lot of place exceptions can be made per case. I used to get pulled all the time for my mods but multiple trips to the garage for safeties after having plates yanked tells them too that that vehicle is fine and noted to be in better shape than a lot of cars on the road. They stopped pulling me over for it now. Lol it only took years though 😆😄
@@jessicalacasse6205 Probably not likely if he built it truly to drive on the street. Full exhaust with a street tune you won't even notice it. I can smell diesel going down the highway far more often than sitting next to a built car in traffic.
Great power to weight ratio... if you can effectively transfer power to the pavement, your power/weight ratio determines ET and Trap Speed. 1 to 1 is the magic baseline - (1,000 hp / 1,000 lbs) Top Fuel is probably 10 to 1. I developed curves awhile back that graphed P/W with estimated ET and MPH. I used actual data from different forms of motor racing to check my methods. Estimated and actual numbers were very close. Also, graphed G's using P/W. 1 G = 21.9 mph/sec/sec. If your car accelerates at 1 G (average), you are going 219 mph after 10 seconds. Top Fuel has amazing P/W and launches at high G's. In real life as speed increases aerodynamic drag increases, resulting in G's that are lower over time.
I think they've already raced and this car won (Bailey spun a bit I think)...but this thing hasn't been through drag week to test the "street car" cred...everyone has a different line in the sand on a street car...nice machine.
@@robertelmo7736 The driving threw a hurricane really tests the street ability of these cars, toms done it and found what works and what doesn't. Could be another 8 years just trying to figure how to drive it in heavy rain and not ditch the thing.
Living in Indiana have owned 15 winter beaters so far. All registered all drove on the road. This car is far safer then all those combined. To say it’s not street legal is ridiculous. Crash your car into a wall at 90mph. Most likely you won’t survive this thing hitting a wall at 200 and he could walk away without a scratch. Doesn’t matter if it looks like a race car it beats all the safety standards of a normal day to day car. One of the safest cars you’ll ever see on the road.
I have been watching the Sorceress for a while, check the Las Vegas run down the strip, very cool. He bought the car new in 84 and has been working on it since. Very nice guy, talented mech and driver.
That's an awesome build! So much history, time, blood, sweat and tears. I am floored at that car and will definitely have to see that in person for sure. *clears throat* but I'm correct me if I'm wrong but I could've sworn that last race was versus Big Chief???? 👀
It seems like it takes a long time to build up boost little longer than some other cars I seen, definitely badass I know a lot of people ain't going to feel the look of the car, is definitely unique but the guys really nice he seems like he's a nice & down-to-earth and they know their shit!!!
dropped in full well expecting a click-baity video, stayed for the duration out of shear amazement and appreciation of spectacular effort and build of an amazing car. All around phenomenal.
It’s not that difficult. Headlights, taillights, signals, wipers, horn, street legal tires, seatbelts depending on the production year, registration, insurance. There’s no limits on horsepower and such.
Yep. A little click bait’ish. WORLD’S FASTEST!!!…we’ll close, they’ll be chasing that number…after they fix it. It’s a badass car but you can’t claim fastest street car until 1, you actually make that pass and 2, do a drag and dive without a full semi and support crew.
Toms record alone of 1000s of street miles will never be matched. Only by Tom himself. He ran a 5.99 on the last day of drag week. Insane. Im a big fan. Steve Morris makes a nice engine package too
Totally. You could technically title and insure a nitro funny car and drive it a city block. Buttt in my opinion that’s not a street car. Complete a drag and drive event=street car.
The definition of street legal car has changed since I was a younger man. This Cutlass could never be street legal in most states. I won’t waste the time to list all the reasons. It is cool as Hell though.
For him to compare his engineering to a multi million dollar cars technology, and the owner to just be humble and say, basically it gets the job done, thats cool for sure🤙
Why would there be insane crankcase pressure? The boost doesn’t pressurize the the inside of the block. If it did that would be called excessive leak down from failed or worn parts like pistons, rings, valve guides, valves, etc. there are turbo cars running 80+psi on big blocks.
Here is a link to a detailed video out out by Tom Bailey listing the 5 quickest/fastest street legal cars. Bailey’s car has been 5.77 at like 259. The Sorceress is therefore arguably the “fastest” having gone 265. The video is about 10 months old so some of the times are now dated. In particular Sorceress having gone 5.85? tying for the second quickest car. ruclips.net/video/R4TrEdXaxPY/видео.html
This is a killer car , but Bailey races sic seconds 2.0 pretty much as he street drives it. Also does 1000s of miles with drags and drive events . This is cool but is not driven on the street much
Ok… so I’m NOT da only one which also noticed that🧐and surprised ONLY YOU said anything about it🤔Now, does that mean he has to shoot for 268 to be considered da fastest?
Given how many people are here talking about living in the same town and seeing him drive it, plus him having a larger radiator and fuel cell for the street, I believe he puts a decent amount of street miles on it. Drag Week isn’t necessary for a street car, but surviving it undeniably adds tons of streetability cred.
Here's the thing - no one really cares if "you" consider it a street car or not. The fact that the owner chooses to and does drive it regularly on the street is the only "standard" that matters.
“Street legal” in the looseness of terms….Why YES !!!! My massive turbos are actual mufflers. I absolutely LOVE how smooth this thing is on the bump box. So many out there are just violent when they bump into the lights. Smooth as silk. Awesome car.
If I’m honest. It doesn’t do much for me. It’s not any different then any other street driven promod. 🤷 Respect for being quick and fast. It’s silly looking even for a promod.
I feel like cars like this are what the EPA points to when they say "anything with a VIN cant be modified" even though they make up like a .001% of the car enthusiasts
I'm not even sure if Iowa does..... I'm 3 hours south of council bluffs in Kansas city and, as soon as I notice an Iowa tag, the only thing I try to do is get around their asses in the left lane....... except this guy.......

I weep when I think about the car this started out as. This could have been started on a more mundane platform and kept the Hurst/Olds in one piece. Sure swap in whatever, but keep the body lines. Having said that, this is a freakin monster. Incredible that it’s streetable and plated and insured. Agent must be his brother or something.
Streetable is a big stretch this thing must be a nightmare to drive on the road zero visibily on big slick and front skinny incredibly loud and where do you find nitromethane surely not at the corner gaz station at 5000hp you are not running pump gaz lol Ps not saying the car not cool just that the definition of streetable for some is a little bit stretched

dropped in full well expecting a click-baity video, stayed for the duration out of shear amazement and appreciation of spectacular effort and build of an amazing car. All around phenomenal.
Crazy that this is a street car. I feel like there must be alot of loopholes in "street legal"
Yes
It’s not that difficult. Headlights, taillights, signals, wipers, horn, street legal tires, seatbelts depending on the production year, registration, insurance. There’s no limits on horsepower and such.
Rod is probably one of the nicest, down to earth people you will ever meet. N knows how to go fast!💪🏻
Tom Bailey has the fastest street car in North America. Never seen this guy on Drag Week. Change my mind!
Yep. A little click bait’ish. WORLD’S FASTEST!!!…we’ll close, they’ll be chasing that number…after they fix it.
It’s a badass car but you can’t claim fastest street car until 1, you actually make that pass and 2, do a drag and dive without a full semi and support crew.
Toms record alone of 1000s of street miles will never be matched. Only by Tom himself. He ran a 5.99 on the last day of drag week. Insane. Im a big fan. Steve Morris makes a nice engine package too
Totally. You could technically title and insure a nitro funny car and drive it a city block. Buttt in my opinion that’s not a street car. Complete a drag and drive event=street car.
👍💪👏
I love it! Such a beautiful build. 8yrs paid off!
Before watching : I’m so sick of the term “street car” being used for fiberglass cars with no interior..
After watching : well shitttt 😮💨
I like how he said "thanks 1320". Yep y'all have made 1320 into a fuckin institution! Serious street cred!
What a spectacular car! Would love to see this at Santa Pod here in the UK.
Ron is a great guy! Very personable! Open to talk about success and failures of his experiences!
Bought it brand new, now many years later & untold amounts of $$$,he has this...now that's dedicated!❤😎👍
I like that he distinguishes between between fastest car and quickest car
Going from 0 to 220 mph in 660 ft in a street legal car is insane to think about
The g-force automatically curves your mouth into a big grin
The passion this man has and the success he has with it is fu**in awesome
Let's talk about the camaro that went 5.61 @ 267! Holy shit
Right!!!😲🤢
The fact that this thing is labeled as "street legal" in the US is absolutely mental...
The definition of street legal car has changed since I was a younger man.
This Cutlass could never be street legal in most states. I won’t waste the time to list all the reasons.
It is cool as Hell though.
For him to compare his engineering to a multi million dollar cars technology, and the owner to just be humble and say, basically it gets the job done, thats cool for sure🤙
I'm curious to know their process for dealing with the insane amount of crankcase pressure.
Why would there be insane crankcase pressure? The boost doesn’t pressurize the the inside of the block. If it did that would be called excessive leak down from failed or worn parts like pistons, rings, valve guides, valves, etc. there are turbo cars running 80+psi on big blocks.
Great Build ,the body reminds me of a dirt track car.
Here is a link to a detailed video out out by Tom Bailey listing the 5 quickest/fastest street legal cars. Bailey’s car has been 5.77 at like 259. The Sorceress is therefore arguably the “fastest” having gone 265. The video is about 10 months old so some of the times are now dated. In particular Sorceress having gone 5.85? tying for the second quickest car.

BTW, the NHRA national speed record for Pro Mod is 260.4 so, yeah...
Red Victor from UK is for sale
This is a killer car , but Bailey races sic seconds 2.0 pretty much as he street drives it. Also does 1000s of miles with drags and drive events . This is cool but is not driven on the street much
Well that Camaro just broke all the Records!!!! It did 5.61 @ 267 mph!!!!!!!!!!!
@@johnsmith-ym3kx - That’s a track car. This video and discussion is about street legal and street driven cars.
Shane T has a pretty damn solid track record of making everything fast/quick.
so so crazy, very impressed, in the UK I would love to see something like this in the flesh. I love the car and ethos behind it
Awesome design and love the color paint job, Well done Sorceress owner.
So the Camaro runs a 5.61 @ 267 and we aren’t going to mention that!
No stereo = not street legal :)
@@exileut My stereo is broke, izzat illegal?
@@toddburgess6792 I can't even hear my stereo in my civic🤣
Ok… so I’m NOT da only one which also noticed that🧐and surprised ONLY YOU said anything about it🤔Now, does that mean he has to shoot for 268 to be considered da fastest?
That is awesome, a person who knows the distinction between quick and fast.
Let's see that thing do a drag week and I may consider it a street car...
Given how many people are here talking about living in the same town and seeing him drive it, plus him having a larger radiator and fuel cell for the street, I believe he puts a decent amount of street miles on it. Drag Week isn’t necessary for a street car, but surviving it undeniably adds tons of streetability cred.
Here's the thing - no one really cares if "you" consider it a street car or not. The fact that the owner chooses to and does drive it regularly on the street is the only "standard" that matters.
@@RyTrapp0 Damn straight
He drives it lol
What a cool car!! Thank you guys for showing it, I have always loved the Hurst Olds, what he did to that car is just awsome!!!
When I first saw this car I thought it was cool, but when you hear the whole story of it then it just becomes a lot cooler 😎
“Street legal” in the looseness of terms….Why YES !!!! My massive turbos are actual mufflers.
I absolutely LOVE how smooth this thing is on the bump box. So many out there are just violent when they bump into the lights. Smooth as silk. Awesome car.
Amazing build. Love it that it is still "street legal."
Love seeing that Iowa plate. I have to say I want to see how she does on drag week. All those comforts need use . One hell of a car!!
If I’m honest. It doesn’t do much for me. It’s not any different then any other street driven promod. 🤷
Respect for being quick and fast.
It’s silly looking even for a promod.
It is silly.
Awesome Bro!!! Hope you break the record!!
I would expect less if it took 8 years for an absolute unit this masterpiece is.
You would expect less?
@@brians48now yeah I'm missing a couple of words there now that I realize or maybe I missaid the comment either way it is what it is.
Take it on a raceweek bro
It's almost required that a machine like this be made by someone named Rod.
😅
Konrod
Incredible build. Looks mean AF & backs it up every single time. 🔥
I feel like cars like this are what the EPA points to when they say "anything with a VIN cant be modified" even though they make up like a .001% of the car enthusiasts
No, they are talking about all of us. Even if nothing like these cars existed, they'd still be coming after you.
@@NG-VQ37VHR
Exactly
Its about total control of everything in life, including the brainwashing of your children.
Well spoken gentlemen with a great vision and attitude, really enjoyed this video, thank you.
Can I see the state inspection sticker?
Not all states have inspection. Florida definitely doesn't.
I'm not even sure if Iowa does..... I'm 3 hours south of council bluffs in Kansas city and, as soon as I notice an Iowa tag, the only thing I try to do is get around their asses in the left lane....... except this guy.......
I was really skeptical about his being called a street car, but it grew on me. Nice car. I love those old colors from that era cutlass.
Nice flex doing the run with lights on
6x9's haha crank it up.original speaker set up from 1988,i saw the door speakers,cause im a stereo guy myself.he pulls up at the light bumpin his 6x9's to ice ice baby.lol
He could build another car out of all the original parts that are left over.
Or he could of just not ruined that beautiful 1 owner Hurst olds
@@Mikesmeyer88 I wouldn't call this ruined by any means
That car. Is just an awesome looking and super impressive winner. Big fan!
Might as well call a top fuel dragster a “street car” also.
@Max Power yo tercels are legit little donkeys odnt hate
Love the car & owner seems like one heck of a decent person. I love the car. The owner made it his & blistering fast!
Much respect!
my car doesnt even go 60 mph in 5.8 seconds lol
I feel your pain man 😭😂
I’d like a car fast enough that they make me install a parachute
That was beautiful... thanks for building that monster.
5,000 hp on the street is unreal
He’s not making 5000 on the street with different fuel and smaller turbos
@@alexjurek6011 he obviously meant that a car capable of 5000hp driving in the street is insane, we all know he isn't gapping other 4000hp promods on the highway
@@gallerr7103 poor choice of words.
I weep when I think about the car this started out as. This could have been started on a more mundane platform and kept the Hurst/Olds in one piece. Sure swap in whatever, but keep the body lines. Having said that, this is a freakin monster. Incredible that it’s streetable and plated and insured. Agent must be his brother or something.
Streetable is a big stretch this thing must be a nightmare to drive on the road zero visibily on big slick and front skinny incredibly loud and where do you find nitromethane surely not at the corner gaz station at 5000hp you are not running pump gaz lol
Ps not saying the car not cool just that the definition of streetable for some is a little bit stretched
I've seen this car at Cordova international raceway and at Byron drag way this car is insane
What a cool story. Bought the car brand new off the showroom floor. Seem like a bunch of really cool, knowledgeable dudes. The build quality on that car is insane. Rod's hair is epic LOL
