First run in 2024
Now when the snow is finally gone in Sweden it is time to get the Meteor Interceptor out of the garage for the first run for the 2024 season. This is the second real test drive after the first run when we broke the driveshaft last time. Since everything is custom-made in this car, we need a lot of time to test everything in real life. So we hope that you will enjoy this video as much as we do! All the best from the Meteor Interceptor team!

If you guys get this sorted out, you should bring it to the States for Hot Rod Drag Week. There are a few other people that have shipped their cars over in the past few years and what you have done to create this work of art wouldn't go unnoticed.

Wow! That is awesome! I think you need some extremely high torque parts for your transmission and driveshaft! You may also want some longer gears so you aren't shifting so often. I can't wait until you fix all the bugs and show this going down a drag strip! That will be a wild day!

I think you need a little ratio change somewhere to keep that thing in the upper half of it's rpm range pretty much whenever it's moving. Seems like too big a vacuum difference for the thing to deal with trying to drive it down closer to idle.. maybe. Idk. Seems a big ask for an engine like that to have any rapidity of throttle response like you're used to in a car.

No traction and the gearbox isn't holding.. Wonder why that is..? :D :D Could it be the overweight block..? It needs the transmission and rear gear from F-750. The V10 platform should be close enough to hold, at least a while. To get it hook, not a chance. Maybe if the engine moves to back seat. As it sits, it's just constant feed of drive line parts.

No the block is not overweight at all. It is made of aluminum and only weighs 600kg, considered that it is 27 liter (1647 cui) it is very light. The total dry weight of the car is around 2000kg, that's just 100kg more than the original Crown Vic. And the weight distribution is 52-48%. We just need to get the gearbox to handle the torque 😃👍
