    Oh by the way gentleman. Never leave home in your race/project car without some mechanix and latex gloves, some basic tools and a good fire extinguisher. He should take 10 lashes for that. His gorgous RARE turbo Colt could have burned to the ground. I actually plan on having "Cold Fire" fire freeze solution when at the track.

    I was watching the thing with no sound, which I think made it extra funny. Waiting for carnage...waiting...waiting...wait, what's thing rolling past the car like a hub cap? Oh, it's the flywheel?!

    Now the echo of everyone else. What did he expect, yada yada yada. Always upgrade the rest of the car before giving it four times atmospheric pressure of boost. A Rolex Submariner's gears can't withstand that much pressure, so what makes you think the gears in a car worth less than a quarter of that will?

    Given that they were able to coast after that happened, it leads me to believe that Mitsubishi trannies suck so much they don't even make good anchors. :D

    In order for a Colt to make that much power, it must have been 4G63T swapped.
    To build a 4G63T to that much power, and to swap it into a Colt, he must be both a DSM freak (to build that motor) and a true Jalop (to stick it into a Colt).
    DSM freaks like to build power, and not upgrade the drivetrain until something breaks. When you buy a DSM project, you can assume that eventually you will have to replace everything. Every single thing. Each thing in the car, you will have to replace. In the mind of a DSM freak, there is no point to upgrade the transmission until after it breaks, so you may as well have some fun pushing X amount of HP through it, where X is a number between 200 and 1000.
    This grenaded tranny is considered a "forced upgrade."

    Ah yes, the tuner's art...
    no seatbelt (check),
    extra "air holes" (check),
    basic procedures down (check):
    "Watch for fire, watch for fire!"
    "You gotta extinguisher?"
    "No"

    Dude, what's that sound?!

    Um, it's the sound of you bagging groceries for another six years.

    While this is P³ (piss-poor planning), I like the concept of a raggety car like this being a surprising rocket.

    This one, though...not so much. And all things being equal, I'd rather have a '95 Fleetwood with a crate 502 which is both turbo- and super-charged.

    After significant wheel tubification, you'd still be able to get a week's worth of groceries in the trunk.

    where does it say 520hp and 44 PSI? Video says 36 PSI, no mention of horsepower

    here's a 700hp Dodge/Mitsubishi Colt
