Slightly underrated!!! 12.8 1/4mile!

Looks pretty badass to me...

12.8 @ 110. Nice. That tells me it's still pulling hard at the top end.
I hope this gives the Camaro a run for the money. As far as the SRT8... the Mopar is waaay heaver but has more cubes - and is waaay more $$$.
This also puts the 500 and KR to shame.

5.0
Alls I gots ta say is... 'bout time.

This video is shot at 1000 frames/sec and slowed down so you can see what's happening:

Ok, not really tiresmoke exactly, but damn crazy insane..

First up are the boats -- this would be like riding an engine dyno:

Next, people actually ski behind these things. I saw them on TV down here in Oz.

Ok, more coolness from Down Under. I was flipping channels on the tele and found this "Touring Car Masters" program. It's seems like Vintage V8 supercar stuff. 60's Camaros, Mustangs, Falcons, etc, although the one I saw on TV also had some vintage 911's in it too. This one is an incar with great audio.

Cool older Muscle cars.... but right-hand-drive
I guess it's one of those 'down under' kinda things...

I know just enough Finnish to know that he'd make a sailor wince.

Somewhat unhappy with the way this video was edited. He did go on to finish second place.

They showed this air racing stuff Down Under more than a couple times. It's pretty cool to see.

Fred: didnt they used to do it in Cleveland with some sort of TRW involvement?

-Dave

[Fred32v]

The post-war National Air Races were held in Cleveland from 1946 to 1949.



The winner was presented with the Thompson Trophy aka TRW.
