Title: new videos of my Z with the offroad cam... enjoy
Post by: aaronz28 on April 24, 2009, 12:55:56 AM

Here are a couple of videos. The first is is a 15 second in-car video 1st and 2nd gear .. getting on the e-way.
i eased the pedal down at about 3500 rpm, and granny shifted about 6800 rpm
wound 2nd to about 7000 if memory serves. Earlier in the day i did powershifts at about 7800 rpm... but the biasplys didn't fair too well grabbing 2nd. My 22 month old son's comment at the end of the video says it all.


enjoy the clips.

Lordy, Aaron--that's so COOL--the Z really turns up! But my favorite was when you fired it up in the garage--man alive, that 140 sounds wicked! The chambered exhaust really gives it a crisp, aggressive bark. Right on, man! I love it.

Tell me he was strapped in a child's seat.

nope, he was just rolling around in the back seat bouncing off the rear side panels. LOL

actually a child car safety seat is permanently strapped into the back of all my cars.
we used to move it from my truck, to the Z, to my 1964 Bonneville... but it became too much of a hastle trying to move them and make sure they were installed safely...
so we bought one for each car.

the only one that gets moved is from the Bonneville to the 64 Corvette. LOL

Sounds just like the old 69 Trans Am racer we used to watch. I've used the 140 cam myself. Cool, great job!

Oh...and I have to add...the puffs of cold smoke at idle are something you don't see with a cataytic converter-equipped cow! That is straight-through exhaust pulsing--beautiful! And some foks don't understand why we love these old machines...lol   It don't git no better'n that!
