It amazes me how in 2002 when GM killed the Camaro and Firebird sales started dropping and continued to plummit like some stock line from the great depression. And yet, now when they bring back the Camaro, and it sells out at most dealerships going for several thousands over sticker price, that they still continue not to pursue further means of delivering $25,000-$35,000 potent sports cars. No offense to anyone who owns a GTO or G8, but they are not what GM needs to sell to the vast majority of people out there that want a sports car. Those that want a sports car want more than a 4 door sedan or a car that looks like an upgraded Grand Prix with a V8 in it. They want something that looks like an all out sports car as well.
I also think there's a market for 4 cylinders out there. I just think they would help their own company by realizing the selling power a good GM V8 sports car like the new Camaro.

WHAT? 
I Thought you stalled the bike when we left from a dig! On a real track, i'm not sure who would have won, but it would be damn close. This was with two bags of ice on my blower to keep the IAT's from going thru the roof, and the motor from pulling all timing out. Damn I/C pumps. I'm still not sure that it worked though.
Blake, you should be scared of my 60's. i think i got it down to a low 1.9x now. Be afraid, very very afraid!!!!!

Thanks, Braden! I've got an idle vid but my camera is giving me the middle finger and won't transfer it to my computer 
I stalled it??? I didn't know that??? I was just babying the launches and playing catch up (I believe you said I passed you around 110?) I guess we'll just have to redo it on 30 when you get your pump figured out in that case

Nate, Joe, thanks guys. This is what your work resulted in:
I can't thank you guys enough for taking car of me and the car given the crappy situation of being 5+ hours from home with a blown motor. Great work you two did! I will NOT race Ben's car with it though as it'll most likely blow up again.
