Derracudas zermatt 20vt,6spd, 351awhp - July 4th drive vid

[85oceanic]

Now that's a video I want to see!

[40v4kq]

I wanna see that vid too. And remember not to break that cam, i hear they're not cheap :wink:

[ChrisAudi80]

is it ok to admit that i'm a bit afraid to put it in 5th and stand on it? i know where 4th gear will take me, and i haven't reached the end of 4th yet.

my friend bought a GoPro HD and so i was out for a run earlier playing around with it, pretty neat but there needs to be some fiddling with the housing for better sound quality IMO. it seems like quite a bit of wind and rattling.

You know I was just thinking that. I wondered if you have ever done a full pull on this car. WOT, though all gears til red line in 6th. I think you need to head to UT or NV to have room for that. Those country roads around your town aren't really built for it.

Btw, what is theoretical top speed in this car? 200mph?

Actually, I bet there are a bunch of cars built here on MG that the owners have never dared to stand on it in top gear.

*here be Monsters* :dur:

[40v4kq]

I think you need to go and find out which has the higher top speed, your car or that wussy porsche your dad has.

[ChrisAudi80]

Derek, do you accept that challenge?

[nismo]

I think the current record is 248 mph for a ticket...lets see you beat that Derek!

Eric

magic 8 ball says that with 7k rpm limit i have now, with 205-55-15's, i can do 178mph. if i could pull 8k, 203mph


hmm, i just made another video and it's playing it like half speed and makes the video really notchy to watch. anybody know what that is?

[85oceanic]

What editing program are you using?

Eric

:jawdrop: Veyron? Y2K?

[nismo]

Sorry, 242...

The fastest speeding ticket in the world allegedly occurred in May 2003 in Texas. It was supposedly 242 mph in a 75 mph zone. The car was a Swedish-built Koenigsegg CC8S, which was involved in the San Francisco to Miami Gumball 3000 Rally.

That's is 300kmh. That is nothing to sneeze at in a 25 year old car. And you built it.

[40v4kq]

Uh, whatever happened to those new vids with the go pro? at least a sneak peek please.
I bet you don't even have a go pro! Prove me wrong and you wont get harassed anymore... OK. Don't make me come up there and smoke you in GT5.

me'n editing/file converting programs aren't getting it on right now. plus a lotta stuff to do the next couple weeks. i do have an ok video if someone is bored and knows how to play with it. there's even a bonus shot. a few seconds of the local State Trooper in his under cover mustang. white with black stripes, all limo tinted out (AND THAT'S NOT LEGAL!), so he's easy to pick out... all right after my horsing around session. I could have been arrested 18 or 20 times give or take 3. i prolly should stick to working right now instead of getting thrown in the klink... that would suck.

anyone want to invest in a local large track? i've been plotting some local land with nice elevation changes and big sweepers/banks, i just need some financial backing

[40v4kq]

I'll fund your little track, just post a vid allready.

[speeding-g60]

i'm in for a local track.

and the car PULLS>>>>> pulls hard, even in the rain we have right now....

i dabble a lil in video editing.....

[40v4kq]

There ya go, speeding can help ya with the vids. Just make sure you send the camera with your dad the next time he comes down. I can't wait to have some fun with it.

Link to video

[40v4kq]

HAHA. real funny. now give me back my camera. Thanks Ben, it's nice to see it actually works. Derek, what happened to the ronals? or did you want to show me the donated tires with the donated camera.lol.

[85oceanic]

HAHA @ Dan! It should be done here either late tonight or tomorrow night. I think Derek said he was running his snow tires or somthing like that.

[40v4kq]

Sweet. What editing program are you using and where can I get it. I'm gonna need one.

[85oceanic]

I usually use Adobe Premiere, but right now I don't have access to it. SO right now I am just using plain'ol Windows Movie maker and "MPEG StreamClip" to convert the file format from MP4 to AVI. Whatever program your using, you pretty much have to convert the MP4 to a different format because it's such a compressed version of the file it's hard for programs to work with it. There are 2 real editing programs that do a nice job that are somewhat affordable, Adobe Premiere and Final Cut Pro. Both very user friendly and produce a really nice product.

[85oceanic]

Finally done guys! Don't be too rough on me, I just used plain jane windows movie maker.

[Kuma]

Machine head was a Fantastic choice.

[Mcstiff]

Derek, how much is and when are you hitting full boost?

[billman]

i want to now that too! :-D
