Do us all a favor. Get a manfrotto cameral rig and mount it to the side window when filming so we can get all of the blood and gore when a deer runs out in front of you and you eat it........

What do you guys think? I was looking through the camera while driving? 
Rest camera on huge flat part of steering wheel, start recording, hold onto steering wheel with both hands and go.. you guys are acting like I was texting on the freeway..

Yeah it was fun.. Nice dry roads 32 degree air. No driveways or cars for miles. For a soon to be 15 year old car with ~173k on the clock still puts a smile on the face..
well until you pitch it into a corner with that same 173K mile suspension then its more like

Very nice pull, mine pulls similarly. It kind of surprises you how quickly it gets to 80 when you are driving.
These old high mileage C36's can still put up a good fight against all the ricer punks out there. Mine just rolled over 180k, daily drive it and it still runs like a beast.

@yamadjs08 Right on man.. how does mine shift compared to yours? and not just the rice kids either. I got into a nice run against a late model v6 mustang. I got off the line a little quicker but it was dead even run before we had to shut it down.. thats one that would have been very interesting in a full 1/4
@503 Hell yeah son! I want to see what ill be up against. gets too rowdy I might have to cheat and get out the other toy...

Here is a test run to check if you could see the speedometer from the location I had the Gopro mounted, you can't 
It is a pretty cool first person view of driving my C43

The evosport pulley kit has made a difference in the quickness of the rev's.
If you watch the video you see I break traction going into 2nd gear

I love your camera set up. Very cool angle. Love the sound of that 43!
I'm looking forward to the summer/spring when all us Oregon and Washington guys can get together for a meet.

Just finished attaching a mount for my go pro to my steering wheel so you can get a good view of the speedometer.
Here is a link to a test vid (nothing exciting yet just a test)

I am planning on getting 1, maybe 2 more gopros so I can make some "get away in Stockholm" type videos. Not running from the cops but several angles on the same run.
I am going to go out for a test run tonight and see how it looks
