    [Update: oops. That's a Cobra, not a GT500] Okay, boys, get that sound turned up. Way up. Why? So you can hear the age-old battle of forced induction. That's right, it's the whine of the supercharger vs. the wail of the turbocharger for hoon supremacy. You'll notice the supercharger gets its groove on first, which is why they are so loved by the drag-racing community. However, once those turbos spool, it's lights out, Mr. Mustang. How much out? How about 160 mph out? King of the Road, we need you now more than ever. (Thanks to Mr. Mayor for the tip) – Jonny Lieberman
