We need a C3 video!!
After watching that F-body video and seeing all the C5 stuff out on the web, we need to assemble a C3 video. I would guess that some of the big block cars are capable of some pretty amazing things, as in rolling 20 mph burnouts and things like that. I know I have done my fair share of burnouts, just need to capture them on video.
Anyone have ideas or video that they have shot ?

Don't have any vids yet, but that will hopefully change in the coming months. Of course, most of the guys I cruise with have newer vettes, but I'll figure something out. :D

Re: We need a C3 video!! (dman535)
I'm hoping Merlin will let me film the first time he takes the car onto a back road to "see what it does" as far as dumping the clutch and making smoke...I figure he could be rolling at about 100 and get them smoking!
Of course there was my highly debated video that showed my coolant temperature while making 50 to 100MPH bursts along the freeway without a thermostat. Anyone in the Seattle area wants to do something with their vette then I'll show up and film it.

Re: We need a C3 video!! (74VETTE)
Neither video worked for me. They were both still but 14 seconds long. No sound, motion, etc. :confused:
Edit: Had to reboot. They work. :cool: Wish my vette would spin em like that sometimes.

I will be filming some footage of my c3 today (though no smoky burnouts) and in May I plan on filming a few other C3s on the dyno. Once I get my alum heads on, I plan on doing a lot more video shooting!

The only video I have so far is my car idling through the stock exhaust system. http://personal.msy.bellsouth.net/ms...est/vette1.mpg
Hopefully this weekend end I will have a open header video and maybe more footage after I get my exhaust done.
