You can tell just by the way the arse squats right down that it's got mega power.

To put that time into perspective ,

its what a keen street rider will get from a modern Litre sports bike but with a slightly higher terminal speed .

It's also a bit quicker than a Mclaren F1/ Enzo.

Having 560bhp helps though. Assuming the turbo and additional gubbins don't add too much extra front-end weight, that car has got to be one of the quickest out there. We all know how good the S is on the corners, so the owner has just given himself the one piece that Honda missed out on - stupid power!

Yep, and it would probably do a lot less damage to the handling than some over-sized wheels people choose to put on their cars.
