I don't condone driving like that with that much traffic around, but the car does sound good.

and despite how it sounded, it sure didn't look like it pulled very hard to me. No camera shake when accelerating and traffic didn't get reeled in nearly as quick as I would have expected.

+2....sounds nice, but watching lane markings, seemed to take a while in mid-range to really power up and get moving onto traffic ahead despite motor sounds. Some heavy traffic to be romping on it, but do what you gotta do.

Loved the sound! In agreement with others about the heavy traffic conditions. I've got my procharger fund growing for my vette. In the past I had a little '93 LX 5.0 Mustang, Procharger with intercooler and some other light mods. Loved the procharger, absolutely trouble free while I owned it, kept all the driveability and just about all the mileage until you stomped the go pedal. That little stang sure surprised a fair amount of folks! Looking forward to the same with my '99 vert. Lots of fun to be had! Best wishes!
