Default Quick Cartek 447 vid

I put a quick little video together of the vette, so people could have an idea of what a Cartek 447 is like (loosing my shirt on tires giving people rides The car is making 585rwhp on a dynojet.

Please excuse the crappy editing, I couldn't find editing software that would blank out the plate.

It shows what cold startup and idle are like, revs, and in car noise (60mph cruise). I did an in car run to 140mph (on an abandon air strip of course) just rolling into it and a couple exterior videos of rolling into the car. Cartek did an amazing job on the car. Compared to some of the cars I have had, this thing has near stock drivability.

Keep in mind the car has Corsa's quietest exhaust on it (the Corsa Touring)! I've got a set of GHL bullets coming for it. That should wake it up! Unless they sound spectacular, I think I just wasted my money, as I really like the sound of the Corsa on the 447. Never heard it from outside until I took these videos and now it’s growing on me!
