[QUOTE="Lethalchem, post: 12941252, member: 8054"] Exactly! You can't really tell in the video but the shutdown area after you break the beam is really short when coming down from 65mph (I hit the rev limiter once or twice there) and the car hauled down to the required 5mph in no time. I REALLY dig how managable this car is in not only a straight line but also when tossing around corners. I mean, this is over 4000lbs being thrown around a small parkinglot at 50-60mph on stock street tires. I can't think of a WORSE environment to put a high HP heavy car in, and I thought she was a dream to drive. I can't wait to try her out at the larger location in a couple weeks. :rockon: The first video was taken with my camera mounted to my harness bar. The second one was on a suction mount on top of my glass roof. I thought about putting it lower but I wasn't sure I wanted to risk smacking my camera with an orange cone. :lol1: Yeah, when I first watched an autocross event I thought to myself, "Man, those cars look like they're just cruising around for a casual drive. Hell, I can do that!" But then when you get behind the wheel you find yourself saying, "Damn, screaming up to a 180 degree turn at 50mph in a parkinglot is a lot faster than I thought!" :lol: [/QUOTE]
