I almost laughed at that launch. I leave at traffic lights quicker than that in my truck. I did laugh at the comment at the end from whoever was standing near the camera stating "165?". I don't think he expected to see that mph from such a launch either.

thats the most impressive thing i seen next to marco's street supra doing 8.47. that is a weak launch and still incredibly fast. 165? and that car surely doesnt look that fast just by looking at it

and ur tires look too tall... something does look right about that. LOL

Wow! I'd be afraid to launch that animal too, especially without wheelie bars. That car is SICK!
