Just got a friendly run together earlier this week with my friend and another guy's Ion. It made like 250whp on a very stingy Mustang dyno. Everything else is in the vid.

Got a rematch coming tomorrow night, as well as a lot of other races since we are getting a little meet together. I'll be getting plenty of video to throw together and test out the new editing program I have.

Just getting back into the swing of things in terms of how Vegas operates, how to do things, how to time things, and whatnot. Let me know what you guys think of this version vs the original. I think I did pretty good for a "quick" video with hardly any footage. With more, I will definitely make it much better quality.

Don't forget to switch to 720p or 1080p! Unlike Movie Maker, Vegas Keeps videos in high quality.

honestly, i think that ion should have done much better from the 40, i have a 2.7 on my balt and i can put lengths on an auto ls1 car no problem and im on 93 oct. but good runs

That 40 roll was HIS race. He only ever wants to run from that speed. He said he was heatsoaked and that is the cause for the rematch tomorrow night. Honestly, I doubt it'll make that much of a difference.

Here is that same Ion with the same mods running my friend's old LS1. It was a 2.73 geared car, opposed to this one obviously having 3.23s being an SS, and it also had headers, lid, dumped Y, maybe a tune, can't remember. I think the difference was mostly down to the gears.

sounded like your friend spun his tires in the second video when he punched it. the results dont surprise me to much though from the first video. though like other props for hanging in that 40 roll. my Auto TA trapped 110mph with headers/lid/exhaust but i still hated when someone wanted to do a 40-45 range roll because i would normally have to play catchup.

Nice videos. I got excited that it was nose and nose with you in the first race, then the dig and first roll made me

Damn.. I really didnt know those redlines would run like that.

Sony Vegas Pro 10. I am about to try this "free download" thing I've been told about. If that don't work, I might end up trying something else. We'll see, I'd like to get Vegas 10 though since I thought Vegas 8 was pretty fun to mess around on.

It's actually my friend's car, not mine.

Takes a whole lot of bolt-ons and E85, but yeah they can run pretty good. He's still got a couple things he can do he said to put more power down.

Sounds decent at least.. dig was disgusting.

Very much agreed. I assume tomorrow we will only be doing 40 rolls.

It's a GoPro Motorsports HERO HD, or some combination of those words. It has a suction cup mount that attaches to any part of the car. I'll attach a picture of it hanging off the car, as well as the video it came from.

2.73 geared ls1 will always suck anywhere from 40-60 mph roll!
Try a 25, 35 or 70-85 mph roll, and the tables will turn...

I have a 98 T/A with 2.73's and those are the speeds 2.73's perform best at!

The 2.73 met a guardrail and is gone, the owner moved into a G8GT now. It's just funny how slow that 2.73 car was, even with headers, compared to a lid/catback 3.23 car.

nice!

i ran a modded ion recently that hung at my door thru 3 gears (slobalt). he was shocked so he must have had some good mods goin.......i was also impressed

I have the rehashed version of this coming. Youtube is taking freaking 45 minutes to upload it (4 minute video) because it's in 720p. Let's see how bad it rapes the quality. Might give Vimeo a shot.

Make sure you guys let me know how you like the difference in the Movie Maker version and the Vegas version once I post it!

New version added.

Sorry for being the street racing nanny on this one but,...Coming from a 30 year old white male,..careful in the rain dude(s). Unless your in an NA four cylinder(stockish)...your asking for problems.

Good videos though man,...those ecotec's have a lot of potential, I have one I am converting to a turbo setup actually in my stall @ work right now. Should be an easy 300-330 whp setup without too much fandangling it to much. Anyways, cool vids and camera layout.

I know man. Usually I wouldn't do it, but since we drove out there and it was literally barely sprinkling, we felt we'd be fine. Like I said, it was only raining on one part of the road. You can tell in the video where the street is totally dry.

Thanks man.
