Good video.

Would have been about 10 times as fun to watch if one could have skipped the music and just heard the engines rev.

There was so much talking in the beginning part of it so I thought I'd put in some music, but keep some of the original sound, you can still hear the engine but not much when the music is on, the part when I'm alone in the car is no music except for the stereo, it's so boring without the stereo for me in the car, or else I would have just skipped it.

How do you manage to shift so well when you are accelerating. Are you just smooth? Whenever I try acclerating hard there's always a lurch or jump of some sort. Please explain your technique! BTW the video was awesome! So did you ever find out from the Porsches how long they had been sitting there and how fast were they going to do it? Other than the rap music... JK

Great Vid, I wish there were roads like that around where I live, I also wouldn't mind the lack of cops either!

Yeah, I think I would have preferred the video minus the music too (for the most part), and if I really wanted, I could have just played an MP3 and add my own on-the-fly soundtrack =) Otherwise, pretty cool video. I like the part where, somewhere around 25 or 26 mins, you round a corner and a guy on a dirt-bike? is just coming down from a wheelie.

I'm guessing you're probably hitting the gas before you've fully released the clutch and that's why you get the jerk?

I didn't ask them to be honest, but I don't think they were that far ahead, I'll ask them though.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Steeroidz, Yeah it was a dirtbike who decided to show off a little. :smile:

your timing on every shift just seemed to be the same length, thats why I guess it was like this, I really only have trouble with the 1-2 shift.
