I test drove the Chevy cobalt turbocharged SS. Ever bit as quick as the 260 HP suggest. When that turbo kicked in, i felt that sh*t

He did the Texas Mile in March last year and hit 224, about 20 mph more than a Bugatti Veyron does...and a Veyron is a legitimate bone stock 10 second car.

Engine is apart now, owner wants 1400-1500 hp and 235-240 in the Texas Mile this fall.

...the new veyrons are now 1400 HP and have a top speed of 273 mph
