we will get another video done with a camcorder.... I think you are getting the 3rd to 4th gear part of it

download it from here
Cool

Be even better with a camcorder with film showing everything from a standstill. Some drive by shots would be good too :smile:

Puh... I wouldnt consider that a video, and I dont think you do either. I could take video of my car from inside and it would look the same. I think I speak for everyone when I ask for a out side the car video, under the hood video, dyno video, reving, pealing out, rpms and speedo during acceleration, anything that would show the twincahrgeness of the car. Sorry about my impatience, but this I really envy nowing what the car is like.

dude...
it was taken from a digital camera not a camcorder
it only has a few seconds worth of video...LOL

cityhunter was doing the MTH program on my car... we had to uninstall the latest version because it wasn't running quite right. We went back to the original MTH map.

and for the record.... the dyno sheets and video will be on the way

With that much power at the wheels for the twin charged MCS ( also noting, front wheel drive ) how does the car keep it down whilst
a) off the line
b ) around corners ( i fear that so much power on a fwd around a bend could result in something drastic eg the car toppling over )

Toppling over, haha, that'll be the day. That being said I can't imagine mashing the pedal being a lot of fun in anything but straight line on completely dry road.

Love the video . . Captures that ever so familiar sound of the gas pedal tapping the floor after a quick shift . . . My GF religiously ask me WTF that sound is . . . Cant wait to see the dyno's and pictures..

too bad the camera doesn't have a better microphone, you can hear the blowoff valve if you turn up the vol and listen closely. I have limited slip but yes it will spin if you just hammer it. That's why they call it driving..... not spinning.... Will try to get some better footage today if the weather permits

What i want to know is how much freakin money do you have into this car. You must be well into Corvette territory or beyond.

That's funny. At WORST you'll just spin the tires if you have more power than traction. The car won't flip over. :smile:

My ride in "The Car"

I got to ride in the TC-MCS yesterday . While my neck wasn't snapped backward, the acceleration of the beast was "fawesome" . There were some cool sounds as well --- the turbo spooling and the BOV . Apparently there will be a few final tweaks to the mapping before this critter is launched into hyperspace!

Many thanks to Jan for the ride .

I was looking at that "Video"() again and realized, how fast you went through those gears. If that really was 3rd and 4th, then wow!
