I took this video today in Vegas driving a modified corvette. I am assuming it was around 520 HP. It got sideways on me when it shifted so I had to get off the throttle trying to drive with one hand.Plus the traction control was off: I got it to about 90mph.

vettes are awsome.

bighit8 · 04-12-2008, 01:22 AM

Here it is, looks stock, but it had a cam, bigger injectors and throttle body and better exhaust( no cats). Plus a chip to change the PCM map.

Heres one more in a dodge SRT 4, but it was so hard to hold the camera, steer and shift so its kinda lame. The cars have such horrible torque steer, not real fun to drive.

Fun stuff - must have been about 95 degrees out there already, eh? The vette seems like it was/would be a blast to drive. See you Sunday am? Or are you moving this weekend? Call me if you need any help. 714-809-7251. Donny

Ill be there. I have a lot of stuff packed, so I have a little free time.I have until the end of April if needed. I will be moving alot of stuff tomorrow night.That vette was fun, the second no camera pass was around 115 mph.The only thing that sucks, is I cant sleep after getting home so late, so hard to wind down!AAHHHHH

I know how to imbed, but it isn't liking these vids for some reason and won't imbed them. Strange.

If you listen about 6 second into the corvette vid you can hear the tires break loose.

silverspot · 04-12-2008, 07:17 PM

Danimal · 04-12-2008, 08:23 PM

I would swap my is300 for an '08 vette.
but there's no where to put the bike, and I don't want the payment.
