A video without music...how odd.

Nice. Can you say wheelspin? Looks like fun, and incognito in a sense.

Love the vid, first of all.
Love the decal on your window. "Ton voiture est trÃ¨s BADASS!!" (That's French for "Your car's fuckin' Badass!") I have no idea why I decided to say that in French, but I guess I'm just random like that...
Love the air intake. That is one extraordinarily-well-fab'd system you got goin' on there. (More gorgeous than I could ever fabricate anyway...)
Love the looks of the car (I ABSOLUTELY LOVE black cars even though all of mine have 'mysteriously' ended up being bright red "cop magnets"... Hhhhmmmmmm... gotta fix that

).
Love the exhaust sound during fly-by, but not so much the off-pedal "decell" sound, but being fairly well-versed in exhaust systems, I do realize that your particular sound "comes with the territory" if you will...
Love the overall positional setup of the turbo system.
Love how u have all of the "peripheral" lines strategically run in the engine bay.

*LOVE* the way you can totally RIP the tires whenever you want, at least in the lower gears

(especially on those tiny little steelies with lots of rubber...)

and most of all..

*LOVE* the way the ass-end of your car "jerks" left-right during 1-2 shifts and 2-3 shifts as if it were a RWD car even though it's FWD

Watch the video if you didn't realize this. It's fucking awesome. I sorta makes me want to have a RWD Cobalt T/C

... Of course I may just be imagining things...

lol thanks man. I wish the car was still making full boost for that vid cause I can spin em up to @120mph (and still accelerate) but the bearing in the turbo are shot and it was only making 16-18 psi. Wait until you see the new setup going in in the next few weeks. Doing new charge pipes, bigger front mount, Hahn intake manifold and a bigger turbo (60-1 hifi ball bearing turbonetics).
The car is an absolute beast on the street and it is as sleeperish as I can make it. Once all the motor stuff is done I'm going to finish up some little cosmetic enhancements I wanted to do. Tint the tail lights, poweder coat the rims black, fully debadge the car, tint the windows and headlights to totally black out the car, CF OEM hood, trunk, and wing to save some weight and a cage is going in the car soon too since with the new motor I should be under 11.5 in the 1/4 (looking to make 450whp on pump 500+ on C16)

As for the video, it's just a quick editing of my car only, we did a shoot with a few other of my friends cars which once we finish gathering all the footage, we will be making a full length DVD of some pulls, track runs, and misc other shit (lol) Once the footage from Sunday is all edited up and music added, I'll post the new vid. Had my friends 370whp SRT-4 and my other friends 400whp STI out there too. Both cars are also beasts and sounded rediclous on the vid we took.

Lookin' good Paul. Can't wait to see what she does w/ the new turbo in...

black06g85 · 01-15-2008, 10:48 AM

You and me both man.
