You got to see this video!

I know this is not from the cockpit of a Maxima but you got to see what it is like launching a 1.38 60' and running a 10.20 @ 133 mph.

Notice how the light polls disappear at launch. What a ride!

This is from the cockpit of a friend's 422 ci TransAm.

Was that an older or newer Trans Am?

That's what I said after waiting FOREVER for it to download. However, it's WAY worth it!

So how many times did you watch it? I'm up to 6 or 7.

I need to stop viewing videos like these. After everytime I viewed them, I said to myself, "no way will I ever come close to that kind of power".


Btw, I got the download pretty quickly. I didn't have to wait that long.
