Default Video of Me Getting Freight Trained!
I was messing around on Youtube today and ran across a video from a couple of months ago. It's my Camaro versus a MK3 and the video shows the specifics.

I've seen this car around my area for a while and I give it a lot of respect. After watching some of the other videos of the MK3 I'm sure an auto would do wonders for consistancy. However, I believe it's a street car and most of those cars from that shop run manuals. Thanks for the compliment! Since this video I've taken 400 pounds out of the car, added a TH350 with a transbrake, and I plan on putting my nitrous kit back on. Maybe next time I won't get freight trained lol.

It stinks but it provides motivation and in all honesty it makes me smile to think that might be me one day.

9 second Grand Prix....Wow! I would be in awe! I think the only thing bad about getting beat by a fast import is all of the 16 sec import owners that try to rub it in your face. Other than that I enjoy the rivalry.
