For scale, the Bugatti Veyron only needs about 250 of its 1000+ HP to reach 150 MPH. Heck, a Camry makes that much power these days. The Veyron needs everything else it has to continue to 250. And that's with the caveat that the tires will eat themselves within 10 minutes.
Plus you need a couple miles of clear runway to hit that speed - rarely available on a public road.

Originally posted by St. Clown View PostI thought the same, but it doesn't say if the vehicle has been altered in some fashion or another, of it he has a pre-tuned aftermarket package. Still, the numbers trooper's numbers can't be off by that much.The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.
