Even with 800hp, I doubt that's the fastest car in the NBA. I'm still trying to figure out what mods he has that would put him at 800hp.

I don't know if it's the fastest in the NBA, but I bet it's close - besides, it's an M5 and what I've always loved about the M5 is still true, you get Ferrari speed AND you can take 4 friends with you - beat THAT Marinello

+1. I have no idea how he would get 800 hp in it.
I mean, I'm sure its possible, but that has to be a custom modification. Maybe HPF did something special for him??

If it is indeed an HPF mod, then

I've seen an E46 M3 with an HPF kill Lambos, Ferraris, 911tt here in Dallas.

Freaking awesome, thanks for that article. He should register on this forum. I like the way he has been playing in the playoffs.

Correct. I sure that someone in the NBA has a Bugatti Veyron. No street legal car is faster than that.

Nice car, but he seems pretty cocky....800hp is nice, but the fastest car in the NBA? or even florida? I'm sure there are some Supra's out there that would take him up on a challenge haha..

Nonetheless, its a beautiful car!
