Default Finally Ran a Vette

30-115ish

Got the jump and when we shut down we were door to door. Sorry about the quality and the late start...it's hard to drive and video.

Nice run. But that is very dangerous on a public roadway. Hell in some states its illegal to use a cell phone and drive. You should never video while driving on a public road.

You're right, it's very dangerous. I figure I normally drive with one hand anyway though. Trust me, it's ALWAYS more important to stay alive than get the footage. It's a matter of priorities.

I've got a window mount, it's just pretty useless for most applications.

The fact that I said that and right below it is a picture of the massive burnout amuses me. I'm afraid of the trans but I have a theory about abusing it making it last lol.


Brian396 in running the turbo kit on the stock trans, and didn't one other guy do the same thing for a while?

I think you just got a lucky trans! Who ever built yours in the factory must have gotten a raise that day or a BJ the night before!!!!!

Always gotta have a window switch when running spray. Your trans will last at least a LITTLE longer.
