Cold idling:


2nd gear pull sideways to 70:






This car makes me so happy and thought I'd share

Sounds mean but that burnout was weak!

A 40mph 2nd gear rolling burnout to 71mph is weak?!?! lol.

Well yeah.
Holding the camera while doing a 2nd gear burnout to 70?

Did you dump the clutch in the second video or just punch the gas?

Probably not the smartest, but these cars are just stupid easy to control at their limit. I've never driven such a well mannered car. I'd never had been able to do that video in my z28 or 5.0 mustang

Just rolled into it. At the beginning of the video I was slowing to a stop in OD, and then I put it in 2nd and when I was ready I just rolled into WOT. Went for a ride earlier and its roughly 45* out and going WOT in 1st and 2nd had my rear end doing everything it could to stay planted too.

Oh I think about her day and night. I think of all the dirty things we can do together

If that was on dry asphalt, then my cars suck. I had an LT1 with the same cam, 350 rwhp with an auto and it wouldn't do that. That car ran low 12sec. My TPI m6 car had a 175 shot of nitrous and didn't do that with over 400 rwhp and a nasty "hit". My cars **** and git. no spinning so I'm not sure why it seems "easy" for you to spin it like that.

To be truthful, its been in the 40's during days and 30s at night lately. I think that the combination of cooler air has her running like a son of a bitch, and probably also making it harder to hook up. The next day I was messing with some bentley continental, and all of first the rear end wasn't hooking up (and that was babying it off the line, no clutch slip, and rolling into WOT) and then 2nd gear she was kicking out until half way through also. I really think the cars running WAY stronger in this cooler weather. But I also switched gas stations, so I suppose its posssible that the 93 octane from this other gas station is higher quality than where I've been filling up. Between potential better fuel and the cooler air she might not be pulling as muck knock retard and running better.

I'm open to ideas lol.
