Leave it to our friend Griffin Steinfeld to take a $2000 Volvo station wagon and turn it into a 1200 hp supercharged low 8 second drag car that he daily drives! This thing is just a total freak show so sit back and enjoy the ride...

One nasty ride y'all. It checks all the boxes for a great party. I've been in a couple of 1000+hp cars and on the street that were impressive but at a point they become 'slow' on non-prep because they are struggling for traction. That Volvo doesn't wrinkle the tire, she wrinkles the pavement. Goes to show that you don't have to make 2000hp to be the big dog on the porch.

That turn signal switch is an aftermarket generic 12 volt switch assembly that has turn and emergency signals with lighted indicators made to be installed on old cars that didn't have factory turn signals or brake lights and also to replace broken turn signal switches on old cars that were originally 6 volt that have been updated to 12 volt and the switch had to be updated but 12 volt weren't available to fit in that old car. I'm talking cars from Model T through the 1940s and some 1950s. I've installed a few of those back when I was doing auto electrical. There are or were, a set of lights that you could buy that was just a sheet metal rectangle box with a 90° bracket to use for mounting and it's face has two yellow triangle shaped pieces of glass on the outside edge of the face and it has an oval red piece of glass in the center and that was for the running lights. It was made back in the day to be added to cars that didn't have any lights from the factory which were options in the 19 teens through the 19 late 30s pre war cars, trucks and farm vehicles. I have one in storage somewhere still.
