462 MPH in the Speed Demon
Speed Demon the fastest piston engine wheel-driven car in history. No other piston-engine car has ever achieved this speed.
  Info Page > http://www.hotrodhotline.com/speedde...d-speed-record Vid > http://youtu.be/Le6aCV_CRvQ Poteet & Main Speed Demon has won the Top Speed Trophy for the last 4 consecutive years. Every year that Speed Week has been run since 1949, HOT ROD magazine has issued the Top Time Trophy, the award for the single fastest pass of the meet, regardless of if the pass is a record or not. To many, this is the ultimate prize for Speed Week. |

Re: 462 MPH in the Speed Demon
2200 HP...shiza! And it holds up under full throttle for a long time. I wonder how many runs it was good for?

What amazes me is the over 7 hp per cubic inch output.
