So if you were in your vette and saw these three cruising around, obviously getting on it from time to time, would you 3 honk them once you had a clear shot ahead?

I may have to see what that LT1 is all about myself

Doesn't look like they were going or accelerating fast anyway.

But I enjoy seeing that video over and over again.

I enjoy quickly getting up to 5 over the speed limit from a stoplight and would enjoy doing that on a clean, clear (of traffic) and dry road with that trio

I never understood why anyone thinks its cool to add a bunch of trash music to any kind of a car video. Always ruins them.. Profanity is the other thing we really don't need on a car video. Watch it with the sound off which is about the only wy I can tolerate these.

They are the three guys with the best job in the world.

They need to bring those things up to K.C. for a little 'mild' winter testing.

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG......I posted my response elsewhere and got backlash for my response blasting the crappy music and stupid commentary.

Like that thread, it still stands here too. Crappy music and stupid commentary.

As has been posted in the other three exact threads of this video, the flickering is caused by the frame rate of the camera not keeping up with the pulses of the LED's or something like that. Not seen by naked eye.
