Default Cool acceleration video with smoking tires and what sounds...

check this out! CF member Tomi72 took this film in our Corvette 50th Anniversary party in Ahvenisto Race Track. Remember to listen the sounds... video is about 5MB, but worth every second... :cool:

Very :cool: Wicked car- what motor/exhaust is it running? The sound is pretty unique, kind of like 180 degree headers on Nascar motors. :thumbs:

Riku, you beat me to posting it here, it was 1.30am last night when I uploaded the video...

Les, it does have 180 degree exhaust system, the pipework is pretty interesting looking! I don't know much other details except that it's a 350 and was rumoured to have 495 hp. Riku do you know more?

Tomi: I found the video from Corvette Club of Finland website and thought that this is so cool that I have to show it in here straight away!

I don't know much more about the car. The pipe work looks really interesting though. I also heard that redline is about 8000rpm... That is really cool car! :cool:

Here is one pic about the engine bay. The engine is not anymore looking like that, but the headers are still the same...

Can someone post with an explanation of what exactly that is? It's nothing I've ever seen before.
