Phil, Matt, Vikash whomever may remember... did we ever get the videos from the shootout hosted? I found them on my computer and was wondering if anyone ever got to see them.

I used the search!!

Right click, save as.

Not very flattering for any of us. I redlighted the first run, and ran a 16.7 the second run. Matt ran a 15.9, pretty good for the condition the car was in.

I can't check because I'm at school but I know I have 5 videos at home, the one I posted, the three Phil posted and one more. Is that one Matt vs. the STI or the Black WRX?

Matt and a blue WRX.

The last two are Vikash and I running.

Ah well I found Vikash versus a blue STi and Matt and Phil and then a Matt versus a Black WRX. I'll try to get them up tonight.

Cool, thanks for posting 'em up!

I don't understand your comment about Matt, the car, and the driver...

I like how it's hard to keep me and the STi in the same frame. :)

Haha yeah, I guess if Matt's car was running at peak condition he'd have gotten that guy, or I have no idea at all what I meant at the time.

As for you VS the STi, we all know that if you removed the contents of a small auto parts store from the back of your car you would have given him a good fight, right Vikash?

Oh. Yeah, he was running on 3 cylinders basically.

Hehe, yeah, maybe. I didn't ever get a good run that day though. I couldn't find a balance between launching too gently and launching so hard the clutch slipped. My really worn out clutch might have been part of the problem, but I also had no experience drag racing before that day.

Lol, I would either dump to early and get a bit of wheelspin, or I'd bog. I mostly bogged, lol.

I am pretty confident now, though. I think I can hook it up and pull a decent time.

Ya, if I'd of had all four bangin' that black rex would have got 0wn3d! :twisted:

In the one with Phil and I you can see how I out launch him and then once he gets the rpm's up his car lurches up almost even! The torquester!

If it wasn't for the fuel cut and Phil's unfamiliarity (at the time) with launching his new clutch/flywheel set up, he would have been handing the rex guys their asses that fine sunny day. :D
