The decibel measuring instrument couldn't get a reading because it exceeded the limits. And that was with nrgy's MHP LT with primary cats. Mine was, um, louder than that.

Those catless cars running today were L O U D ! ! !
Ditto! Thanks, superlube! Haha. I like "superlube" better.

There were some very loud cars there.

It's always nice to move out of the BMW community and meet new people; you guys are awesome! The C63s were amazing, my new favorite car

I've picked 82 photos out of the 216 I shot today, I'll try to get through as many as I can by tonight, but regardless, they should be done before the weekend is over. I've got another photoshoot tomorrow with the BMW folks, but you guys have priority thanks to Wayne's generosity - the camera bag is awesome thanks!

I'll post up photos once they're done in the PNW forum, you can request high-res versions by PM'ing me here with your email! Meanwhile, I'm going to go work on the photos and rest my ears...

Oh I recognize your sig from e90post. I think I had the dirtiest AMG there but Bob can attest when he saw my car in the summer that I can have one of the cleanest cars out there too!

Thanks for taking the photos and thanks to superlubricity for setting it up and everyone who came out!

Nice meeting you guys!

Yeah I'm VERY active in the PNW forum on E90Post. Maybe I'll end up that way here, too

Good news! All 77 photos (removed 5, they were a little redundant) have passed through their first stage of processing - that's noise removal, distortion removal, vignette removal, lighting adjustments, and white balance fix. Next up is adding in the eye-popping effects

TWiTCHY, I can't wait to see the pics! Thanks so much for taking the time to shoot this event.

RLx02, thanks for letting me have the sample of 3M Carbon Wrap. I've got a ton of ideas now that's I've had a chance to see/feel the product!

Yea, it's a noticeable difference in loudness with cats vs. without--especially at WOT.

Thanks Except don't expect all of my photos to come out like this. Many of them from this event are "snapshots" or candids - they have show little artistic value as opposed to showing what's going on. But photos like the one I just posted are the ones I take at actual photoshoots. These photos are the ones I spend time on setting up and editing pixel-by-pixel, literally. Don't worry though, I've got more like 'em coming up

EDIT: Making a new thread in the PNW forum, I'll link it in this post once it's up!

Great picture. I have both, the red C63 and also the camera(Canon 5 D Mark II). Twitchy has talent taking pictures though.

Heh, thanks. Did you see the interior shot with the white background? I want to do one of those shots in your car or something, it'd be cool to get a series going for all the cars I shoot, haha!

FYI here's some of the vids that bob uploaded.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8kjH...eature=channel

The video does NO JUSTICE though on what they really sound like in person.

Bob's SL sounds like a mean WWII fighter plane and my car, nrgy's and avengerboater's are insanely loud!

Yeah thanks again to Twitchy for the candid shots and also yeah no proble on the 3m vinyl. After seeing s4avt's blacked out grill I think I'm going to cover up the chrome on the fins and the star....I think avengerboater is also going to redo his with that instead of his printed cf.

Did you guys end up going to xxx rootbeer or anywhere else? I had to sleep before going back to work, otherwise I'd be down for some grub and talk!

Thank you


This one's too good to leave 'til the end, so I did it in about 5 mins. I would've fixed superlube's car, but I didn't want to be picky



EDIT: I also updated the very first pic I posted of the red C63. I noticed the red was a little dark so I brightened it up a little. You can see the updated version in my photostream.
