While watching the "in car" video, I turned my lights down, turned the volume up, and got really close to the screen, almost like being there, except for no G force!
Cool video and car!

Wow!!! That thing runs good! Reminds me of my old Nova that ran 9.30's about 10 years back.

I gotta ask....was that really 1500 RPM? Sounded more like 3500.

Good job!

I couldn't foot brake to 3500 if I tried. LOL The X-pipe gives it a higher pitched sound which can be deceiving.

Andy, Drop me an e-mail or PM sometime with all your chassis settings front/rear including shock settings, spring rates, etc. I might be able to assist you.

Thanks....I think! LOL

Yeah, I had never tried doing an in-car before. It was really pretty easy. I just racer taped a tripod to the roll bar. Worked like a charm!

40coupe, what's your name?! Some of us like to speak to a person when we try to give a sincere COMPLIMENT. THANK YOU for that video! Just think how much faster you could go without the weight of that rear-view mirror.:D
I was looking to read about your setup. Did I miss that? (Still breathing hard:yes:)

Ooh-ooh, In the brand new Hot Rod (with the 'Top 100 hotrods of all time) is a new video camera. It's in the new gear section. Designed just for these kind of movies. $350 bucks. Mounts anywhere they say.

Love the videos. Reminds me of my father in his tubbed out 69 Z28 in the mid 70's. Wish I had that car now.

Thanks.
