Default C4 in car videos

I thought you guys would like a few in car videos from my C4. In the first vid my tires were sh$t. It was all I could do to keep it pointed in the right direction. In the second vid the white BMW loses an engine right in front of me(at the end of the clip).
Any feedback is welcome. I would really enjoy any comments that you guys have. thanks enjoy
here are a few pics of the car.

Looks good man. Sounds good too. Can't wait to get my C4 done and on the track!

You may want to check your C-beam (if it's still there). Your shifter is moving a lot when you get on the gas and let off. May want to pick up some of the c beam plates from ZFDoc.

Sweet lookin race car! have you done any string testing to see how the air moves through the louvers? I want to vent the top of my hood but dont know exactly how or where. I want to help front downforce as well as vent engine and header heat. Where did you find the louvers? I sure would like to see build specs and pics. again, bad *** lookin racecar!

Wow, your car is so much like mine. Same vents, I have a hood scoop from a Z28Camaro. Same HP ( I have about 400HP on a carbed 355ci).
It looks like you have a T10 4 speed also?

The only thing I see in your driving would be a bit of work needed on heel and toe blipping for smoothness. Your tires were pretty awful lol. Other than enjoyed your videos very much. Couple of questions.

I run a 3.07 D44. You?
How much does your car weigh? It looks like your hood, by the cowl shake, is much lighter than mine.
Your nose and splitter. I need that lol. Is it bought or built?

I'd post a few pics also but can't figure out how. My avatar is there though.
