We seem to have a lot of videos with low-powered cars.
You know, cars with less than 300 HP. ;)

So I put together a few clips of some cars with a little more power than that.

You've probably seen many of these as individual clips, but I had a wild hair and thought I compile a few.

About 6 minutes and 12 MB.
(Right-click, save as, of course)

Hi Rez version (http://www.generic-racing.com/photos/albums/video/compilations/HPCompilation.wmv)(Thanks Generic-Racing)
48 MB, but twice the screen size and better quality.

Nice video.. but for a safety guy.. ya drive fast on the street! ;)

I'm planning on getting a LOT of footage this season, so see some video's from me too. Team-GR seemed to have created a trend! :)

For those who saw that nasty looking probe trying to start up... there is in error in the text provided; that is a $300 car with less than 60 psi in all 4 cylinders starting up with my insane skills and impeccable handywork.

Oh yeah ... too many motor swaps to keep track of.

By the way, I think you still owe me $300.
(And I think you misspelled "inane") ;)

I may be a little biased but sounds good to me!

Can I ask what exhaust/header mods you've done, if any, to your Cobra?

Factory headers, Bassani X pipe, Magnaflow catback.

From the mod car guy watching the geez output: wow, 1.2 g's, how cute ;) :) :)

I've hit 1.3 steady state on occasion. Woopee, huh?
How many g's can a mod car pull?

Road Race guys log 2.5g or so in high-speed turns in a good DSR, which is a B-Mod car.

I'd guess high 1.x range at solo speeds. It's insanity. Can't imagine with the A-Mod crackpots see with those car-attached-to-a-wing creations :)
