Doesn't start out very work place/family friendly.

The street crap is just plain irresponsible.

Some pretty cool track pics & vid, though.

Yeah the opening banner is typical for what I'd assume was a younger generation making the combilation and the street stuff, no matter what we ever say, will continue for eternity, same as when we were younger. Live and learn, even showing videos with wrecks and gore only sticks with most kids for the moment, then as soon as they're around buddies common sense goes straight out the window. That's easy to prove by watching any number of videos on the internet, there's just some fence post dumb people out there

I like videos' but there was some pretty cool stills on there too, makes me jealious actually I need more motor!!

I think I fall into that "younger" generation... but i wasn't too impressed with the title. They didn't even put much creativity into it, gotta love the default options in window movie maker

The part that struck me as the most retarded was the guy doing doughnuts waiting in traffic. The rest was just street racing. That red vette on the street is from up in your neck of the woods right Josh?

Overall, pretty cool vid, I should be making some up this summer with the help of central college...hehe gotta love the free digital camcorder for the weekend deal

It appears so, except that was an old video as he now has that big hole in his hood for his reverse mount whipple S/C PLUS nitrous. It looks really fast in the video, but at the track all I've seen is broken half shafts and low 11's. He has 10.?? on his website, but it must of been one of the 2 days I was'nt at our track all year or was at Tri-State where everybody is faster since it's downhill-max allowed by NHRA. Buddy of mine works at Omega cabinets with the owner of the vette and is always talking about all the troubles he's having trying to get the tune right. It's just my opinion I know, but for a vette, WITH nitrous and WITH a S/C, just seems like alot of coin in that investment for no faster than it goes-especially since he just drops the car off and writes a check for the work, plus, last time I checked I did'nt see any salt flats/dry lake beds in Iowa so he might have some crazy top end....but for what??

But it does get alot of atttention with that polished blower sticking through the hood.
