much more impressive than balancing the stack of wine glasses on the lexus commercial.

the LT5 is truely a "jeckyll and hyde" monster. docile at idle, and a beast at WOT. I'm going to try this but even with fresh plugs I don't think my engine is that smooth.

One thing's for sure, I could never do that on my engine! :nonod: I'd have a hard time balancing a tennis shoe on mine at an idle! :crazy:

It was idling, about 950 rpm.

I tried this on my 95, funny story. we found that the engine got a little smoother at about 1400-1600 than at the 650 idle (engine was still cold).

none of us could find a nickel, so we used a penny!!!

the penny was hard to balance but it stayed up for about 5 seconds before toppling over. I couldn't believe it. try it!!!

so now you can do this trick 4 cents cheaper with an even more difficult to balance coin!!!

cya :yesnod: :lol:
