Quite a lot of comments already, love it! I'd be so happy if you shared the video with your friends and help me make it more popular on YouTube that way. I am planning to start producing some more cool stuff when Spring comes and I'll probably start cooperating with my friend who owns a large US cars showroom here. He is getting a 2014 Corvette C7 in a couple of months and we will make a video of that also, that's for sure!

Terrorizing Orange Cones
Always fun to see American classics in Europe or other parts of the free world. Expressing yourselves the same way that we like to do here in the States. Beauty, power, and speed never goes out of style.
The video looks like a good time was had during production. Loved the extra camera angles and prospective from another vehicle's viewpoint.
Very creative.
Too bad about that u-joint though. As bad as it looks, it is recoverable. Good luck with the repair and post any updates when possible.

I'm glad I could be of some inspiration!
I just took the rear diff to a guy who does 1000+ hp drag race diffs here in Estonia and he will tell me soon about all the items I need to order from Summit for the diff to make it OK again
I'm just having it rebuilt although there were no internal damages as far as I could tell. I am going to order heavy duty side yokes and possibly also new heavy duty 3" half shafts. I also need to replace the broken diff cover and I am ordering the 6 link suspension kit from Dragvette.com. I don't like the idea of putting too much pressure on the diff itself and the half shafts with this engine and I like the extra safety from the safety loops supplied together with the 6-link.
I'm having the Q-Jet sent to Lars Grimsrud for tuning and rebuilding. I'm also replacing the fuel pump with a 80 gph Holley mechanical pump and putting the MSD HEI ignition module with rev limiter into the stock distributor. Guys have been telling me not to install the entire MSD set since the original HEI should be just fine.
Attached is a photo of the setup we used on my Suburban to film the outside shots for this video. My friend welded that rack for me and it was the first test for this setup. We will try to improve it somehow to stabilize it a bit better. I don't have the cash to buy a gyro-stabilized system but the Suburban with its extra soft suspension and heavier weight does a pretty good job
