Default DAY RUNS, Nitrous Vette, 427 Vette, TT Camaro, etc

Mods for all cars are in the video. My car busted the torque converter right at the start of the day so I didn't get to play.

Enjoy!

The 427 FRC needs to fix that master to sell his car!

Gas door on civic wasnt popped. His car just got painted and the latch is broken.

TT Camaro had never raced the car on drag radials before and missed one shift. Sorry we arent Mario Andretti.

The Foxbody not latching the hood fully was a big mistake though.

"TimBalls" in the video has a 7 second Supra and an 8 second Mustang. But ya we aren't competent at all.

This lol.


Thanks for sharing. I would leave the mods up for a little bit longer in the beginning though, little hard to read that fast.

4-6 seconds is usually how long I leave them up, depending on the mod list.

Good to see a day time video to spice things up!

Actually it made me almost uncomfortable. He is close to a paraplegic and he owns the Civic, his close friend drives it for him. BTW: THe car nickname was what HE requested I put him as. At first I wasn't going to but he embraces his disabilities and still wants to enjoy the car scene.

I was actually curious about that too. I just didn't want to ask and come across as an insensitive *****. Props to him! I think it's awesome that he doesn't use it as a reason to give up on life and makes the absolute best out of it. Mad respect

After I hit submit reply...I was like...****...I bet it's HIS car...figures lol.

On a side note....VERY cool of him to embrace that....nothing wrong with OWNING the situation,..accepting and adapting.

Props to him, thanks for the reply.
