Guy drives 1,300hp Mercury Comet on the street knowing the gas pedal sticks. Joy ride ends with broken bones!

As AutotopiaLA’s Shawn Davis revealed, December 17th is a date he will never forget. It was the first time meeting Russ for an interview about his fiery red Comet, which he built on his own. Harnessing a 632 Merlin big-block Chevy with a 1471 BDS blower on it, this Mercury is no slouch – except when it comes to braking power. The owner mentioned an important detail that could’ve balanced out all that horsepower – he hasn’t touched the car’s brakes in the past 17 years.
