Custom duct tape on the window too :0

You know that adds like 50 hp if it's "200 MPH" tape, right? Right!?

but where does it show it does a 9 second run on street tires?

It doesn't. They say it's a 9 second car, which was wearing street tires at that time. Not that it does a 1320 in 9 seconds on street tires.

I doubt they can hook up and do a 9 second quarter mile on street tires, but you never know.
