Default Video of 3 quick romps in my lid/full exhaust WS6
I am sure I could get a little more out of it if I would have spun it higher, but i like to play it safe. Let me know if it seems about right. The last run, it was pretty sideways but i stayed in it.

Anyone else have any good "in car" acceleration vids? I love the vids that show the speedometer and tach so I can get a good idea of how quick the car is. If you guys have a good one, throw it up in here.

Runs pretty damn good man. Nice shifting too. What exhaust do you have? Dont mean to go offtopic here but since you brought it up, whats the deal with the factory tach, why is it so slow, and is there a way to fix this without having to mount another aftermarket tach?

Thanks.

Awesome, car sounds great. I too, love cluster shots even on stockish cars, it's nice to see the speedo on these "old" cars move faster than most of todays high performance cars.

The stock tach = no good. I just know that through 1st and 2nd it can't keep up, the engine revs too fast. Thats why I bought the shift light, that way I know I am shifting right at whatever I have it set on. Right now its set on 5900rpm. Thanks for the compliments, but I wish I would have spun it to about 6400 but that will have to wait until next year. She goes in storage next week. I am pretty curious to see the comments on my shifting. I didn't powershift it, but was shifting about as quickly as I could without having to worry about missing a gear. When I try to shift lightning fast, I'm a little more prone to miss a gear.

Thanks! You have some quick shifting yourself. Where did you mount the camera?

Yeah, i don't really know if that is normal for the oil pressure or not. Myabe my car is messup up, although it seems to run great. It was about 50 degrees out that day and the car wasn't fully warm yet. Hopefully she holds together, ha ha ha.

Yeah especially on a cold car the oil pressure will go higher than on a fully warmed up engine. I don't have the scientific reason why, but it just does!

The oil is cooler and thicker.
