Check out this badass Corvette racing a 13 sec mitsubishi. The best part i think is right after the driver of the car says "i think he's scared". then the corvette just floors it and gains some 4-5 car lengths in a matter of moments lol. Dont usually like vettes, but that thing is just.... as the driver of the mitsu says.... f*ckn neat :

check it out

The driver in this BMW E36 racecar must have some of the biggest brakes ever put on a car.He is certainly a man on a mission.

By the looks of the model, im assuming its the 97-04 C5 model, those ones had na 5.7 LS1's/SC 5.7 to the Twin Turbo 427. That vid was posted many times on youtube, with most of the uploaders of the vid saying its the TT version (either 550hp, 600hp, 650hp, 725hp), afterall, u can kinda hear the turbo, and theres a slight lag when he floored it. Man i want one! i wonder what the Current version (C6) of the lingenfelter can do with its TT 427 with 800hp!

Edit: i guess its not turbo, heres a link to the corvette owners webpage

Default Best 3D Engine Animation I have ever Seen.

I came across this on another Forum escape-central.com

This is a video of the Ford 2.3 litre Duratec Engine as fitted in the 4 cyl Escapes.

No doubt he can drive but he was in a BTCC BMW and racing against what looked like an equivalent to Porshce Challenge.
