Here's what I know. 25 years ago, for about $600 worth of mods, my '87 Buick Regal T-Type Turbo ran mid-12s...while 5.0 Mustangs struggled to get out of the 14s with the same cost of mods...
I'm old enough to have WITNESSED the Roush juggernaut with Turbo-4 cars in road racing. HISTORY! No trick photography or multi-shot spliced videos required...
I am VERY aware of the abilities of "small" engines making BIG power under boost. And THAT'S the key word...BOOST. If you turn up the wick till the head gaskets melt, and fill the tank with C-15, you can actually pull the wheels on just about anything with major suspension mods, instead of the blurry misrepresentation shown here...
IF this thing consistently pulled the wheels, it would CLEARLY be a focus in the video...which it ISN'T. So. even with an unhooked stabilizer bar, and a "hop" on the one launch to create the DRAMA of extreme front-end lift, the FACT remains the LIST OF MODS provided is INCOMPLETE.
Also remember the ATS Turbo-4 weighs at least 100 less than the EB Stang. I wonder what that will translate into when the Alpha-Maro appears a year from now, with similar mods to its Turbo-4? WITHOUT videographer-enhanced "assistance"...
