Haven't seen too many of these cars, but someone was driving obnoxiously
around here tonight so I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Took me a
small bit to verify it wasn't a disguised trooper. Finally got to a
traffic light were I could see how this thing performed. Even after
squealing the wheels, I still got a jump on him and was outpacing him
until I came up on another car (his lane was clear). Had broken into
triple digits by this time. The only information I could find about this
car is that it produces about 318 ft/lbs of torque and is estimated to be
a 7.5sec 0-60 car but it sure seemed stronger than that. Judging by the
worn rear tires, I suppose it could have been modded.
