It's an S7 with a drag engine in it. This thing won't run well on the street.
The same reason drag cars are trailered to the drag strip.
That is absolutely fucking retardedly awesome.
With the right use of technology I don't see any issues with it being just fine on the street. Most typical drag cars you see at the strip utilize pretty low technology which kills street reliability and driveability; let alone the fact that they don't need to be built for street use so why waste the money to give a drag car capability that it doesn't need. However, if the aim is for this to be a street car, which is what most are assuming here, then I don't see any reason why it cannot be with the right parts. Obviously it will not be a daily driver or road trip car, but there is much that can be done these days especially when you have lots of money to invest like these guys likely do.
Most obvious reason would be water only passes through the heads on those motors. I highly doubt that's something you want to be street driving. At a certain horsepower level you cannot get away without half filling or completley filling a block or even more extreme in this case buying a completely custom billet block that has no water jackets. Now I'm not saying 1500+ hp motors aren't somewhat streetable these days because in certain applications it can be, usually dialed back a little for street duty tho but with this type of proline motor is definitely not.
