Since you went there, your "momentary" acceleration would've taken place over approximately 7.4 seconds given specs on the 2007 Audi RS4 that was being driven, assuming 50 km/h to 143 km/h and vehicle is stock and in peak or near-peak mechanical condition. That would've covered about 212 metres.
Even if you assume 65 km/h as the starting speed when the acceleration began, it's still 6.6 seconds and that covers 200 metres, which would mean he started accelerating just before W 43rd Ave (2.x blocks away).
He would've been traveling approximately 100 km/h at this point and accelerated to 143 km/h prior to impact at W 43rd and would've covered that distance in just over 4 seconds.

The last car that passes through the intersection while Hui is waiting to turn occurs 3.5 seconds prior to Chung's Audi entering the intersection. Chung's Audi would've been about 124 metres (406 ft) from the intersection at that point.

Go stand in a batting cage where the average pitch is 60mph and then randomly one comes at you at 100mph and tell me how that worked out for you.

Not the same thing at all.
