"Butch Leichtfuss’ 1963 Pontiac Lemans means business.

This beast sports a twin turbo 522cid big block Chevy that screams out 1250hp on pump gas and a ridiculous 2000hp on race gas! Ever go 0 to 150mph in 5 seconds – Butch can. Butch and his 3700lb Pontiac cruise the local streets (with parachute, of course) and run the quarter in 7 seconds. How many 70 year old men have the nuts to mash the throttle on 2000hp? Not sure, but Butch sure does. The Pontiac was transformed into this behemoth at Nelson Supercars.

Cool flick.
That kind of car is hella normal around my way in the streets. Here is me in my M3 racing my buddies GTO using only 1 stage of nitrous..... This is his street car on the weekends. He has a faster one for the strip.

This car does 0 to 150 in 5 seconds. A stock 996TT does 60 to 130 in 12 seconds. There is fast, and then there is *FAST*.
