Very quick run

I had a chance to open it up just a little bit last night. Unfortunately, I was going up a hill at the time. Oh well, here is it:

This was done on a closed course in Mexico.

I just wanna say be careful all it takes is a animal to cross your path and a huge accident can occur....but at the same time I would do the same if safe to do so...

Car looks fast even for going uphill. Do you still have a stock intake? I am asking cause it is still hard to hear the supercharger. Awesome video, but be careful at those speeds.

There was no chance of any animals being harmed during the filming of this.

I've got the LET intake. I forgot to turn down the radio, so that's why it was difficult to hear the supercharger.

Red bull, do you already have the spark plugs and wires changed as well or no?

I'm always up for a good run. I wanted to get some runs on tape with the 181, so then I can get some good comparisons once I've got the 185 on.

I doubt I can, but it will be a good measuring stick. I ordered a little HD video camera, so I'll be able to get some decent quality video.

Lol, getting all defensive arnt we? I raced with Jake, Andy, Wayne, Jerry and the rest of the guys at the last track day. Jake knows my car went faster that day. It was meant in good fun. And I've known Brad since before he had his C32.

j/k. Glenn, his car is VERY healthy. If I don't spray he can walk me. We had one run where I think I blew the sc intercooler, and all I saw were his tails. (I now know how VIC feels)

Nice run. Most of the roads that I use in Mexico have too many Mexicans on them.

Never claimed to be the fastest or the slowest, just in the hunt all the time. Point in fact, I thought that an Aston (gorgeous car) would dust me on 53 a few months ago. Well my thoughts were unfounded and I took the guy. Point is, you never know. You could blow a launch or I could. Things break, things happen!!

I was there ImportLab, don't recall the car??? Sorry!! Next time at Morrocco or wherever, we'll run. Shut me up then!!
