The car = win
camera man = loss

Either film the road or the gauges... not the glovebox

Sounds like it runs pretty good!

I took it to the track shortly after we shot that vid and I couldn't get a full run in. The car was hooking great but the diff gave out.

Thanks and thanks. Exhaust "setup" is an open 4" downpipe coming out the drivers side in front of the FRONT tire..

Tnetics TC78 .96AR exhaust, only about 10psi in the vid. I plan to run a max of 18.

It isn't too bad just cruising, but as soon as the wastegate opens it sounds like the world is going to end.

This is just a flyby on the freeway. Sorry, a friend recorded/uploaded the vids so you have to listen to his commentary lol.
