Sure sure--- That car rockets from 50mph to at least 150mph in less than 3 seconds in the first video. Motor Trend did a pretty thorough evaluation of similiarly configured tuner cars in the June Issue and the performance on the street was much more tame. 60-120mph acceleration tests yielded times of approximately 7-10 seconds for the quickest cars.

the thread on supraforums about this video concluded that the video's real. any supra with that set up basically pulls like that.....

it looks fake, but with that much power and a huge turbo lag, i think it could be real
