"I can't imagine all this happened in just a split second"
How about running a 500HP turbo on stock engine internals...

If only people had as much brains as they did money...

I didn't think a stock Ford V6 would hold up to all that, neverless a turbo added.

How did you come up with a supercharger? In the vid you clearly hear a turbo and a BOV, no supercharger whine at all.

yeah that's what got me. I didn't watch the vid till after I posted, and I'm at work so there is minimal sound from the video on these ghetto monitor speakers..

I had some guy in a probe with a fart can on try to race me. His whole car was spray painted black (no, not primered. spray painted).

and I just watched the video again, and the car does sound exactly like a weed whacker.

I saw that afterwards, but it seems like that the text under they're username is set by post count since a few of the high post count members have supercharged under they're username.
