Can they do that on stock internals?
For the most part, cause they are already turbo charged and a re built to withstand boost. Usually they require a fuel system upgrade, but that is pretty much it.

There's a few complete bolt on kits that make inupwards of 300whp, and when your talking about a car that weighs a little over 3000# fully loaded. That equals some pretty decent numbers.

With that kid of trap speed he must have had a turbo as big as a frisbe or he had a moderately bigger turbo and was spraying.

Probably just a GT30 upgrade...

That's what one of the big hp kits come with.

Too bad those cars are FWD.......


That thing would be crazy with a RWD or AWD conversion

^ You are saying that a Lamborghini LP640 with 270 hp more could only put 1/2 a car on him? Seems kinda sketchy. But after 160 I suppose that the vastly superior aerodynamics of the Lambo would let him walk away without too much trouble.
