All 3 videos were shot in the same day. I was going to put on a side pipes and when I removed the ones on the car I found out they were better then what I was going to replace them with. Aluminized steel 2.25 inch, where as I had 2.50 stainless steel, less restriction and louder. So I am happy with what I have. I will return the other one.

i just can't keep my foot out it. I love that feeling. I was working on the car in my garage and neighbor came by and asked if i would take her son for a ride. He is hooked of life on the Hot Rod. But i got him to shoot the video when i was driving and breaking traction (LOL)

Iim glad people like the video's

It IS a beast!! It doesn`t "idle".... it "thumps"! You know that pounding in your chest you feel when the cars with those big base amps go by? That`s the same sensation this car gives you, but the music is from the big block!

Nice sounding vette that gets up and goes.
How did you mount and what attachment did you use with the gopro?

M and T's GoPro has a suction cup mount, I try not to use the WiFi remote because it eats the battery up too fast. It is in a sealed case but it still gets a lot of wind noise. I will try and post more vid's as I make them
