Default Twin Turbo Crossfire 0-180

Should I really believe that?.. I thought it's not possible to supercharge a crossfire. And this is supposed to have a TT ?? :

I already called BS on that guy, look at the camera motions. Everything in that video is sped up, and the description makes the guy sound like a tool. No way.

*now he's claiming that it has a v8. haha

Even if it is real wich I doubt it. It's about 110 mph that speedo is in km/h.

yeah, but it still would make it an 11 second car or so. 0-60 came up in a little under 4 seconds.

With enough money and time you can do anything you want. Jay Leno turned a front wheel drive Olds Toronado into a rear wheel drive monster with 1000 HP.

He's a tool, if a xfire could take off like that from a 15 mph roll with that kind of power the tires would be spinning like mad.

Yeah, I know it's definately possible. I still don't beleive this guy though, and I will continue to tell him so on youtube (I am yourtheace). He keeps telling me to come see the car, who in their right mind would actually travel somewhere to see someone's car that was on youtube. Until I see the walkaround video including the engine bay I will continue to beleive this guy is full of it. He also posted the video as twin turbo crossfire, z06 slr and gtr killer, failing to mention that it also has a v8. Once I called him out, he told me it was a v8, and that I should ask brabus if it is faster than the aforementioned fast cars. Once again, he told me to come see it, and I told him to simply make a walkaround video. I'll gladly accept that that video is legit once I see the walkaround. Until then, I still beleive he's lying.

Your problem is that you are spending time talking to people on youtube.

If you disable your youtube account, your life will be so much sweeter.

I still think he's blowing smoke out his a$$.The rear end was probably jacked up or on stands when he made the first video. I like how he showed off his tt v8 in his walk around.
