That is what I was thinking.
Wait, are we stalking a car?!
Maybe if this picture were posted on one of those time-wasting sites. Facebook, sure, but how about Tumblr or something else?
All of them?

Something I'm noticing, is it looks like a pro-stock drag body from a few years back that has been fit onto whatever chassis that is. This would explain the canopy and front windscreen being so clean.
I watch the NHRA on espn when I get a chance.......sort of the polar opposite of ecomodder.

Pretty neat, whatever it is. I'd definitely like to know more about it.

Yes, overall it is quite impressive. The underside of the back is too sharply lifted - and you can see the area that is dirtied by the exhaust is getting swept upward.

I just google searched drag racers over the last 20 years, and this car doesn't really match any of them. So repurposing a drag racer into an eco-mad fuel sipper was not the route this guy took I now am guessing.
