you need mpeg2 codec to play it, latest version of WMP doesn't include mpeg2, install a dvd player software (even if you don't have a DVD ROM), that should do the trick.

The best part of that video is the motorcycle popping a wheely at the end. Generally, I like videos of this sort, however this video primarily consists of a person burning rubber in a completely open parking lot. Fun, I'm sure, but not particularly impressive. Furthermore, the car couldn't pull any ground on the yellow vette (which I'm assuming was a Z06) and shots of the speedometer show relatively weak acceleration. I'm not trying to be too be a hater here, but, if you are going to promote yourselves as badass street racers, (a) show more skilled driving and (b) use a car that actually accelerates like it has over 500 hp.

Hmmm,
Not all that impressive. Lots of parking lot stuff.
He almost hit the stand pipe during one of the reverse burnouts.
Looks like they spent alot of time editing.
The Black corvette is a C4 Callaway (At least the rear lights are)
The Yellow Corvette is a C5 Z06 both are very quick cars. The MB is pretty quick for a four seater.
Thanks for posting,
Tim

Not impressive acceleration??? Not impressive video???
Well, I'd like to see any of you pulling stuff like that for starters, then recording it, then editing it, and then posting it for other to watch.

I know we are open to criticism, but come on, be real with your comments, if you don't like it, I guess it is allright, but why put it down with comments like, not impressive.
just my 2 cents

I'm not saying the video production is not impressive. I appreciate the work that went into it and think it's cool that these guys take the time to produce these videos. I'm just saying that doing burnouts in an empty parking lot doesn't require any skill and the film of the speedometer doesn't show a car that is accelerating all that quickly. Furthermore, the E55 couldn't pull any ground on the Z06. I was able to out accelerate a Z06 in my MKB/Kleemann CLK when it was a 4.3 liter engine and I had similar HP numbers with a SC 4.3 engine versus the 6.0 liter SC engine used in their car.

They are promoting themselves as crazy street racers. As far as that goes, there isn't anything in the video that is particularly impressive. I'm glad that you enjoyed the video Pocholin but after downloading 80+ mb of video, I expected something more.

What kind of s/c are you using on your E55? Exhaust? Not bad.

hey i agree with most if not all your points too, lol. The video was actually scripted. Believe me I would prefer more reckless footage, but to me: drifting on a track is as good as in an empty parking lot because, yeah there is no painted line to follow but its totally illegal which brings the crazy factor up a few dozen notches. Drifting on a normal road is almost impossible considering the traffic and the extreme lawlessness of the issue. You see a bmwfilm and think that was chaotic but considering they close the street off and film as many takes as they like and that its totally legal AND SAFE really makes it quite boring.
I narrowly got away from the state trooper in his camaro after making all that smoke and noise in that lot.
further, up here in ny, it has been raining EVERY weekend in 2003. The street racing scene has been slow because of it. So better footage was impossible to come by so far. Believe me I'll keep trying ;-).
ps. my license was also completely revoked then so when I get pulled over, I always get free ride in police car!
this is our first quality vid and we appreciate your input as it always helps make the next ones better!

pss. the z06 jumped me, he went on 2 (not 3) I made up that handicap and then some. I usually take z06's by a car or so. He also wasnt stock.

Do a search on my name and you can see the whole video and well as my pics of exhaust mods

That's cool. As I said, I think its great that you guys make these videos and I appreciate all the effort put into it. It's great that you take constructive criticism well. I look forward to your next video.

The film editing was off the chain. More open highway racing clips through Upstate NY would be butter :-)

The soundtrack gotta go. Put in some Rob Zombie, KORN. Something....
