The digital display of both cars times at the end of the clip read:

For the Nissan Silvia/240 - 14.08 seconds @ 159.2 km/h

For the BMW M5 - 8.83 seconds @ 253.7 km/h ... that's over 150 mph!

Pretty darn quick.

I agree, but there's a BIG difference between those 2 cars!

That would be a great race for some of the Dallas, Austin, and Houston Turbo Lexus guys.
