1971 Chevy Chevelle In France Accelerates At A Near-Veyron Clip: Video - GM Authority (blog)
It should be news to few persons on Earth that the French live largely to mess with our heads. Still, it’s culturally French. Regardless, this 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle from France, with its twin turbochargers and all-wheel drive, might surpass the French-Canadian Circus du Weirdness with regard to how much it makes our skulls ache. Car website BangShift reports that the Chevelle can rocket to 62 mph in a mind-numbing 2. 7 seconds, or about as fast as a Bugatti Veyron. All-wheel drive on the French ’71 Chevelle comes courtesy of a GMC Syclone/Typhoon front differential, paired with a GM NP149 transfer case and a 12-bolt rear end. That this incredible 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle is a triumphant feat of do-it-yourself-ness is a given. The French have messed with our brains yet again. But we rather like it. Nice car and I’m glad to see the frenchies showing some appreciation an ingenuity to one of Americas finest. However, anyone who has a car that can break the tires loose can spin/smoke them up to 62 mph in 2. 7 seconds, which is what this video shows. Source: gmauthority.com
