It seems fishy but I think its legit, my 3.42s are those exact shift points, I end 4th at around 140 also. Sure seems real and if you notice once hes up past 100 when he shifts the speedo goes down a sec and goes back up when he begins acceleration. That means that he probably is on a road and theres resistance. Maybe he has like... 335 slicks or something? lol

Not a hint of tire chirp. No wind noise but you can clearly hear the engine. Who runs from a stop strait up to 150 then back down to zero? If the rear was changed to 4:10's and the speedo was not updated from the 3:42's the shift points between the tach and speedo would not change but the speedo would read way fast and high. Very fishy.

I personally think it's on a dyno myself.....here's a few things I noticed, No wind noise, you run 150mph and tell me what you hear...seems like there is no load on the enigne as it wraps up pretty easily, absolutly ZERO traction fight.. JMO though....

Did anyone else hear the noise when he shifted into 5th gear at 145....it almost sounded like two cars accelerating or two different exhaust notes? Im not calling bull, but I dont know if Im going to believe this. Thats almost near impossible driving that thing that well, without making some more noise shifting.

Wow what the hell is going on here?
I think something has happened from all the "drag racing" videos on the net.
The "Lets punch it from 50-120 with some BS camera @ night" drag racing videos.
That was just serious drag racing skills, he wasnt really power shifting.
Just rowing some gears. Had his clutch release down. With a healthy 500-600hp and the suspension to back it up. You can dial that clutch release in and produce a killer 60ft.
I had an 95 LT1 and my roommate had the 99 ws6. both m6/3.42
Those are the shift points. My LT1 shifts were more like 45-50mph,then 90-98 for 3rd, and 4th goes 130 in f-bodies easy. Figured most the people on here would now those by heart. Show of hands who has even hit 150? In anything let alone a vette or fbody

and pretty much 50% of everyone else on here. and it definatly didnt got that fast.im thinkin fake. i punch it on the highway and i notice that the rpm's jump-slow down alittle-then jump back up. due to the friction. there seems to be no friction, wind noise, tire chirping, or anything

no way this is real! watch the speedo drop when downshifts to 3rd, no tire spin, not even close to the wind noise in an f-body at those speeds. i call

Too smooth, too quiet and too quick on the 0-150-0 to be true. Where would you be at a complete stop, burn off to 150 and then come back to a complete stop?
Don't have to be head cashier at Wal-Mart to figure this one out.

total bullshit vid. Notice how the car absolutlely rockets to 25 or so mph without the engine even sounding as if its under ANY load, not to mention no tire chirp whatsoever, and whats with the fat jump in mph on the 1-2 shift? Not to mentiont he slowing...
and as for that other vid he has posted: that could just as easily be a stock LS1 with a flowmaster doing a 110 mph flyby
