Default New Camera (Canon EOS Rebel XT) Test

I decided to try the Meguiars NXT Polymer wax (with my buffer) and I'm pleased with the results with not-too-much effort.. as I am inherently lazy and old as well.

I also decided to give my new Canon EOS Rebel XT a test.. because the best test for a digital camera is the colors red and green, and also Hugger Orange.

I'm happy to say that the red is truly red (unadjusted, from the camera) and the greens are great as well. The lens that comes with the camera is a cheapo.. so when I get some good glass with reach the pic's will be astounding!

Here's three examples (I know.. I'm gonna shine up the tires a bit!)

I stand corrected- not ALL GT's came with it, Cobra's and Mach 1's did.. may have been dealer installed in my case (I didn't install it!)

True. My buddy went 13.5 with his '00 GT. Offroad X pipe, with flowmaster cat back. Plenum, pulleys, intake, and a Nitto DR.

Went 12.6 on a 90 shot and a good burnout.

Lebanon Valley sucked last week too.
