Tunnel run

Hi folks. I just did another tunnel run in an approx. 1 mile, two lane tunnel under the local river with the top down (34ºF ). From a rolling start in 1st gear, flooring it and revving upto the redline where the auto-box automatically upshiftst to the next gear. I do this every now and then (I hope the police never catches me doing this) and I can trully recommend it to everyone.

There is absolutely no comparing the sound to anything but a Nascar race I suppose. It is an ear splitting shrieking exhaust sound which I hope to record some day, but all efforts failed upto now due to overload on the recording device (no joke).

Watch out for speed camera's and the like, but if you have a tunnel nearby do this at midnight when the tunnel is empty and it will bring a smile to your face that lasts 2 days.

I just had to share this with someone that understands
