I Call Bs On this guy.

he starts at 33 seconds and 15 mph... then he floors it and from then on he gets up to 199 at 55 seconds....
thats a 22 second run fror 199mph... i call bs either way.
this may be a repost?

and check out his shift points thats way to high of speeds for those gears and hes pulling way to hard the hole time. you can see the g's kick the camera back and you can hear the wind a little so you know its on the road. how did this guy make this? and if its not BS i want his turbo.... ha

Um... since it seems that none of you guys noticed this, the speedometer is set to km/h.
