10 sec. 1985 reliant sleeper owns a supra
Runnin a 2.2 chrysler 4cyl turbo engine in it, front-wheel-drive. Had the same engine in my first car, an 89 dodge daytona shelby. My car was runnin 16psi boost and about 200 horse. These motors have so much potential it's nuts.
Here's the site showing a timeline of the build

Ferrari gone wild in Paris..
Hope this ain't a repost.
Filming in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed through the heart of Paris early in the morning . The film was limited for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte Dauphine , through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.
No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit. The driver completed the course in 8 minutes, reaching nearly 140 MPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running 19 real red lights, nearly hitting a myriad of actual pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up two bonefide one-way streets.
Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the film went underground.

Holy.... the driver was insane and lucky, especially with some of the narrow streets and number of red lights he ran. :shakehead
Gilles Villeneuve the driver, perhaps?
Wow.

I've seen it and the sound makes the vid. Watch it without sound and it's pretty boring, but not bad for a car in 1978 I guess.
Since this is a repost thread, here's the best Paris vid out there of the Black Prince running the ring around Paris on his GSX-R

From Wiki:
I think the 85mph claim is pretty credible, the engine sound aside, it doesn't look like it's anything over 100mph+
Shot in a single take, it is an example of cinéma-vérité. The length of the film was limited by the short capacity of the reel, and filmed from a gyro-stabilised camera mounted on the bumper of a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9.[2] This model, which could reach a top speed of 235 km/h (146 mph), was only available with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Yet, one can hear gear changes up into 5th, as well as heel-and-toe down-shifting with a high-revving engine indicating speeds of well over 200 km/h. Calculations made by several independent groups showed that the car never exceeded 140 km/h (85 mph)[3], while another[4] estimated that the car had peaked at 220 km/h (136.7 mph). Lelouch himself claimed that the top speed achieved was over 200 km/h, somewhere between 230 km/h and 240 km/h.[5]It is suggested that the sound was dubbed with the noise of Lelouch's 275GTB, which has a corresponding number of gears and a similar engine note.
A making-of-the-rendezvous documentary indicates that Lelouch himself was the driver, that the car driven was the Mercedes, although the sound track is from a Ferrari. One observer was posted close to the Louvre palace at a blind junction (archway) to assist the driver.[6]
Due to the increasing demand and the limited distribution of original tapes,[citation needed] the film has recently been re-mastered from the 35 mm negative and released on DVD.[7]
In 2007 part of the movie was used for Snow Patrol's Open Your Eyes music video.
