It's easy!!!
1.) Aquire 2 JATO boosters of the 50,000 lb thrust variety.
2.) Bolt/weld/secure them to your vic.
3.) Enter drivers seat
4.) Press happy red GO! button

You'd have 100,000 lbs of thrust pushing your ride in whatever direction seemed convienent, hopefully downrange away from spectators.

Assuming the boosters stayed attached, you'd be in for one hellova ride untill the G's broke your neck...

At any rate, you'd likely get a Darwin award and a real nice funeral (for what remains they could find)

the only 2 second experience you ever experienced was losing your virginity
bwahahahahhahahahahahhahah!!!

ouch.

Hmmm, I suppose this would work... I really didn't think of this.
What some people will do to achieve high speeds in slow cars.

What about a really wicked 0-60? I'm talking like in well under 5 seconds, I'm sure there's something that can be done to achive this.

oh dawg! for fiddy G's you can make your ride stupid fast!!!! i swear yo! first, you gotta get lots of NOS, breh. and dont fugget the stickaz, those will let the suckaz know that you mean biznezz. you heard? then you gotz to get some JDM parts overnighted from japan, yo! then you gotta get a good steering wheel so you have sumpthin to hold on to, and some neons so that all your crew knows yaz commin.

thats allz you need to do, breh! you should be pullin at least 8 seconds in the 1/4 mile. then you just gotz to find a straight road with a busy intersection to test it, mang. just go as fast as you can and make sure theres lotz a traffik, so that you help the world and take yourself out of your misery.
