I know, just wanted to point out that a 1987 factory Corvette could do the same thing as that 2014 tuner car if you turned the boost up a bit on the 1987. And a 1988 tuner car could beat it by 50mph. Hopefully the 2014 tuner car doesn't have the same reputation for blowing engines as the Calloway turbos (both factory ordered and Calloway modified) had in the 1980s.
