Once again guys and gals. It's perfectly fine to comment on the video. However, foul language, bashing and insults WILL NOT be tolerated. Your post will be deleted.

Using european car knowledge to make a car that isn't street legal that can outrun most other cars at the cost of being even remotely streetable.

@swamigal

so 1mph is 1,61km/h

so 283mph x 1,61 = 455,63km/h

that's a really crazy thing oô didnt know a newtime car that hits that speed (like veyron, aero ss, etc.)
