WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! 
That car is dialed in!!! You would think a car that fast would pull the wheels more. Long wheelbase and low center of gravity probably help.
I wonder if it is a TT kit on a 427 or something more home-brewed?

Was that the rev limiter gurgling at launch? I can't believe you could launch at that high a RPM and with those tires w/o tearing up the mechanicals. Dang!!! He must have the whole drive train beefed up.
