What car is this?

Can anyone identify this car? It may be from England around 2006. I would like to know what power plant it had and it's performance.

I think this is the same car on youtube. The info says "70 year old driver taps the brakes and causes car to spin"...

It is from Austrialia and is a J-34 car. I think the owner/driver is Peter Bennett.

Partly correct Curt, it's Peter Bennetts car from Australia, but it's powered by A J60.
Haven't seen it in the flesh, but it's state of the art, mostly owner built, and have many photo's of the car and its build thanks to many of my fellow jet pals in Australia. I think it has run in the 6 second range but hasn't made a full power pass yet. Unsure if it has been made race ready after an incident (as mentioned above) left it damaged. I'm sure one of the australian members can fill people in on the latest details if anyone wants to know more.

Hi everyone

The car is based in Sydney Australia, the owner is Peter Bennett. The car now has signage on it and it's name is "Aussie Jet Set". As mentioned by Afterburner, the car is powered by a J60 and the build quality is amazing. The car hasn't made a pass under full power at this stage, but has done many passes at 80%-90% engine speed.Peter has decades of racing history, mainly boat drag racing and even raced in America for approx 1 year. Alot of help getting the car going was by Brett "Smithy" Smith who frequents this forum. When I travel to Sydney for work, usually Peter,Brett and I catch up for a chat (mainly about what esle, but jets). Hope this helps

regards
