The car in the first vid sounded like it was Cammed. Before he took off, you can kind of make out a lopey idle.
What's the point of going that fast on open roads again? Really though, what's the point of having a car with a speedo that shows 200+mhp? Those speeds aren't used but on a track (or at least it shouldn't be). So why do people jump for joy when they state that they went 100+++ mhp on the streets and act like they've accomplished something? I don't get it. Maybe it's just me.
I agree with TE on both counts.

the scary thing is the single turbo supra guys go 180+ alot... they race street bikes from 70-180 all the time and mostly always busas and R1s and they still win which is impressive but stupid at the same time.... what is scary about those cars is how fast they get to those speeds. and there are supras that people get up to 200- 201 MPH on an open highway ive seen videos of that quite a few times

Stares at the wall thinking about those supras...


Back to the point.. Theres no shame in losing to a vette like that.. It would be fun just to see that thing in action...

The guy is in no way a tool. He never dogged the vette.. and he was never cocky. He never even expected to win.. he just wanted to dick around. Props

i agree, there is no shame in losing to anything... if the other person has put more time into their car, has a larger budget, had had it longer etc etc.... when i lose to somebody it just makes me want to make my car even better for the next time. that thing sounded S I C K though!

It was the to pend Vette vs. what sounded to be a mostly stock DSM (I think its a Talon BTW)... not a completely fair race... but worth watching...
