Default Stranoized and got a video?

Alright, we have read all about it, looked at pictures..bought the stuff and love it. But where are the videos? Not the burnout videos or exhaust sound clips, but the real stuff. Hardcore driving! There must be a bunch of you that auto cross and road race. How about maestro himself, Sam. I myself drive like a sissy, not much to look at, lol.

I would love to see a auto cross video. All we see are 1/4 mile videos.

Here's a clip someone shot of me during an autox day. It's pretty short and nothing exciting. http://www.twiztedstylz.com/portal/m...cid=48&lid=443

Actually im not sure if that one still works...

Here's a clip of my spec drag events, winning the final round last august. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le7ey...eature=related

This will give you an idea of how stable the strano/koni setup is compared to the other guy who has (I believe) a ground control setup, and I'm not sure about what kind of shocks he uses. You can see it helps keep my car pretty stable around the high speed sweeper turns compared to the green LT1, and helped me gain a few feet to stick my nose out in front of him.

"Whoa I didn't think that thing can move like that"

" Oh yeah they can"

Nice to see a change of pace. I like the twisties too, currently in the process of changing up my setup to see what i can get out of the ol' girl.

Nice! LS1 power, baby!!!

That's definitely a good showing for your suspension ... you were able to hold it on the outside the whole way around, and it actually looked like you could go FASTER even around the corner! That's awesome!

The suspension setup definitely has helped me gain confidence in how stable it is.

You guys probably have these types of events close to you if you have local small oval tracks and do demolition derby type shows. The event is called "spectator drags". They are fun as hell to just watch. A little on the risky side compared to autox, but it sure is fun as hell to win in front of an audience of thousands

The video of you racing the WRX was pretty sweet.

Nothing like that around Knoxville, sadly.

Yeah, they've been doing that at the stock car track near me for probably ~10 years now. They call it "King of the Hill" up there. They'll do it like a mini "series", where they'll determine a winner each week, and then have all of the weekly winners back at the end of the year to determine an overall champion! I've never done it, but I might go for fun one day .
