I am pretty sure that it is running a supercharger and a turbo, A work collegue has a mark one fiesta supersport with a turboed/supercharged cvh in it. It runs mid twelves F.W.D.!!! that sounds near identical!!

Haha loved that vid, reminds me of a few ppl over this way and the crap they believe. 2nd video was better, show up the volvo engine for what it really is :P :P :P

Wank #1 - Silvia with rubber band wheels,some brand name blow off valve, monster tacho and boost gauge, 3.5 inch fart exhaust(chrome 5" tip) and number plate "BO-OS-TZ"... now the funny part... no turbo in the car.

Wank #2 - From my brothers school, has an early model corolla hatch, chrome dress rims, big shiny red tip on stock exhaust, and a sick sound system(as in it sounded sick... like it was about to die of overdistortion), and was apparently boasting how it'd own our mazda 626 sedan... the logic that caused this... its bigger so must be so heavy that the power weight ratio of the corolla is better... 80hp, 900kg versus 180hp, 1200kg.. go figure
