That's because it is not a 3 rotor... I doesn't sound like one, nor does it look like it has anywhere near 457whp. I think it isn't legit...

I was thinking the same thing....sure didn't sound like a 20b and I heard no BoV in either car. Even the wrx didn't sound turbo'd....

Edit: The car is red, dropped, w/ a CF hood and the wrx even sounded like and auto to me LOL

And it did not even look fast.
20b would walk away from that at much faster rate, and continue pulling away at all gears. This one just jumped and then looks like started running outta steam...

not a 20B, doesn't come close to sounding like one.

But I never heard a BOV, so either it's an N/A 20B or an N/A Renny and he racing a Metro.

Seeing as how that WRX sounds NA and Auto, I am willing to bet that it's rx8 w/ catback/springs/hood vs stock Impreza. (maybe maybe maybe a small shot of N2O)

Hey thanks guys for the debunking and correcting my math errors

There's even another exciting vid of this 3-rotor monster to keep the thread alive:

Just saw the clip.

Sounds like a stock rx8 with a k&n intake and a catback. No way it has more than 250 whp.
