27: All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows forced induction except the Father, and no one knows force induction except the Son and those engines to whom the Son chooses to force induct.

28: Come to Me, all you who are naturally aspirated and slow, and I will give you speed.

29: Take My turbo upon you and learn from Me; for I am fast and humble in heart, and you will find 10 second quarter miles for your souls.

Hilarious that he started with a Tracker and ended up with that thing. I didn't know it was twin-engined either but I suppose it makes sense with how much rear end it kicked in Gran Turismo.

Gran Turismo 2 had two of the things: the earlier twin-engine Cultus (blue), and the better known, single-engine Escudo, the red monster that's been in all Gran Turismo games since
