Awesome! Looks like that Spider needs a little weight on the back of it, but isn't it amazing how similar they sound?

Sounds great ,Ralph! Whats up with that 2nd to 4th shift? I have gotten good at that...I have a weak 3rd gear synchro,so I skip it when I can.

Dave,
Sorry no passenger, I was on my way to work. I crammed the camera under the passenger seat head rest.

Craig,
My Third gear is fine, I was just running the car through the rev range and had to stop soon so I just skip 3rd gear.. The car is very hard to drive docile, it always begs to be revved.

Fantastic video... Wish I were in one of those driver spots... We all know 'drifting' didn't start in the Asian countries... these rally guys have been doing it for a long time...

wow! Both very cool videos.

Love the sounds. And all this time I thought I needed a flat-plane crank!

I'm not sure if I ever posted this on the forum back in August 2009, you can sometimes hear the engine over the wind noise, the cars that go pass are a worked Lotus, a Racing X19 and two Ferrari's

Ralph, was that with the dual IDFs? Mine are exceptionally loud, but I don't know how they would sound recorded.
Adrians, how fast did you get your car going on the track? I was surprised my stock 71 hit the 100 mph mark. I bet it was the first time in it's life it went that fast.

Denise,

Up to 85MPH on the straight, didn't get to use 5th gear, but had it out to 5500rpm - 6000rpm in 2nd and 3rd and about 5000 in fourth.

Always had to keep an eye open for a quick Ferrari, as you see the video, one overtook me on the inside on the corner that end end of the straight

Denise,

That clip is about two years old at that time the car had a 40/80 intake cam with a Weber 36 ADL Carb and stock FI Exhaust(No Cat and FAZA rear) . Fun combination, loved to rev! I have the IDFs dialed in pretty good but I took everything apart to install a 40/80 intake cam and adjustable gears. Once the weather warms up I have to dial in the cams and reinstall everything.
