It wasn't the camera, they had issues with tire spin on every pass.

THANK YOU, Steven, Josh and the crew at LMR for the amazing car you built me. You guys are engineering geniuses to get a car with the full factory interior/both seats and cd player/radio in place to go that fast. It is simply amazing that this car can be started from a cold start by reaching through the window and putting the key in it without getting in the car to pat the gas. Also the car has zero over heating issues and stays unbelievable cool. I am very fortunate and privileged to have LMR building this car. Seven's here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been hot rodding for over 30 years and ihis is truly a dream come true, the Holy Grail of the combination of performance and streetability/reliability. If you have a dream these guys can build it. Again, thank you Steven and Josh for mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
