This would be a Twin Turbo LS1 in a Volvo wagon. It just pulls and pulls and pulls. You gotta admit, it would be quite fun to waste just about anything in a car like that.

That wasn't even close to 190mph as the vid claims. The bike hit an indicated 184, which is about 170-ish in reality.

In a light chassis, like an Atom or Caterham 7 and with a turbo... yes.

Yes it did, but a stock 'Vette (also with an LS1) without the turbos does close to that bone stock.
