I don't often get to see drag strip monsters like this, but this "Green Goblin" can pretty much only be described as "impressive", because, well, it is.
This thing has proper presence. The headlights have a red halo ring around them, which would certainly scare the snot out of you if you see it roaring towards your way in your rear view mirror. The width of the rear tires is so wide you can probably use them to land a plane.

Oh, speaking of planes, the motor is so loud it would probably feel right at home at an international airport. When it was put on the dyno @dreamsonwheels_vancouver, it was showing a monstrous 942 horses with 816lb-ft of torque at the wheel. But nope, apparently some horses took the day off because more was expected from this car (the wet tires probably had something to do with this). I mean, you can't go 0-100 in under 3 seconds without at least 1000 ponies, right?
Can you imagine just being a passenger in this car, and how much hearing protection you'd need just to be within the same postal code as this? I was standing about 10 feet behind it while it was on the dyno, and my AirPods threatened to unionize after my putting them through the insurmountable task of neutralizing the noise. Oh, the heat from the exhaust was strong enough that I am pretty sure it raised the temperature of the garage by a couple degrees.
Imagine driving this on a drag strip, accelerating to god-knows-what and then having to decelerate again once you are rapidly reaching the end of the runway. No amount of traction is going to make this an easy drive.
To think that the owner just drove it out, in public, on a rainy day.
