You guys can laugh all you want, but you gotta realize that this car has two engines. The standard Mazda engine upfront driving the front wheels, with the regular double exhaust, and then it has a twin turbocharged LFA motor retrofitted in the trunk to drive the rear wheels, with LFA's exhaust.

I saw this car at the track run 1/4 mile in 0.0001 second.

And it's 0-60 is so fast in fact, that there's no stop watch in existence that's able to time it.

I always put up with fake air scoops and side vents, but fake exhaust tips?
