Best debated in the motors forum, but from what I heard he was way over-revving the engine, letting it sit in gear too long, and that he had a slap-shift auto. I think he could have taken the action a lot further with a manual x. The tire squeal and the viewable speed didn't mesh at all. At best I think he was doing about 60 MPH (< 100 KPH).Apparently it's debate whether the engine you hear was a Ferrari 275 or a Mercedes with thre 275 engine sound dubbed over.
Edit: Nah, that's legit. If he's Ferrari then it is rear-engine and it will sound different at that camera/mic position. But he seemed to gear properly as he got used to the car, and it all made sense after that.
Edit again: just saw the end. That was a promo video years ago (I'll have to find it). Very cool. Still think the car could have done better in 6th gear, though.
