I think I had a matchbox car like this as a kid. Only difference is my matchbox car had the cool exhaust pipes sticking out of the hood. For those who don't know me, I'm being sarcastic.

I've seen this countless times with motorcycle guys also. They take the first mod that is supposed to add 10%. Then the next mod is supposed to add another 10%. Add the exhaust and get another 20%. Next thing you know...you're at 700hp
We need a local dyno shop to donate a few runs for this beast in exchange for recording his reaction as he sees the numbers.

I love what he did with the plate on the back.

P.S. Hotwheels definitely better than Matchbox.

I think Chevy came out with a Hotwheels edition Camaro, that's where he must have got the idea.
