Even with a big ass shot of NOS the kid isn't hitting 208. Hell the hennessey guys built a stang for top end speed and only got it to 207.9
AND lets not forget tires. You'd need a "ZR" rated tire, which is essentially a racing tire ($$$$). Most high performance production tires are going to be "Z" or "W" rated tires which top out at around 168 mph. Kaboom goes the tires at a sustained speed that high....


Just far too many holes to make this story believable.
