Cool Supercharged C6 Video

I just bought a new "Sticky Pod" camera mount, decided to test it out by making an in-car video of my Corvette. This was my first time to make a story video, turned out okay. Here is the video:

photos of the Sticky Pod camera mount, attached to my removable roof panel. Worked great! www.StickyPod.com

looks like a sweet setup, your car seems to be running good too it seemed like you were kinda short shifting though?? were you just trying to keep it from spinning too much?

It seems like I was short-shifting, but it was actually due to the tires spinning so much. Shifts were at 7000 rpm each time. 1st and 2nd are pretty much roast-fests. You can hear the tires begin to haze again at the upper rpm in 3rd gear.

Very nice, I bought a sticky pod myself about a month ago. They really are fun to use.

Can't wait to see some more video's of it.

Oh and I hate you, it's freezing up here in WI and you're driving around with the top off!

Shut up!

You hiring software engineers or CPA's(my wife)? I'll come down!

You should make some video's of all your different cars you build up. That way no matter how many years go by not only will you be able to remember them by looking at the pictures but you'll be able to show people what they sounded like and show them going down the 1/4 mile. I know I'd love showing off the video of your old supercharged '69 at the track to my kids if I owned it.

Stock Z51 Goodyear tires. Run-Flats, but they are a little softer than regular non-Z51 Corvette tires.
