There is no way that C4 is stock. Probably got some serious mods under that hood.

Wow, it was fast though! The subaru couldn't even stay in view of the camera!

That was a 10.56 from what it looked like on the time at the end. The Subaru runs a low 13 sec stock so that Vette from stock. The block may be stock. That thing jumped!
