Hey I went to your site and still can't get your videos to work.
Then I went to apple and down loaded quick time 6.52 went
back to you site and all I get is code.
What is it that I'm doing wrong?

The videos worked for me. Are you saving the file to you computer before trying to play them? That is how I had to do it.

Ace841 I have an apple computer what do you have?
How do you save it to you computer?

I have a chevelle that could be a twin to his and I really like
to see those videos.

Thanks.

edit: sorry I read your post wrong. I made the videos on a mac. If you have OSX go to the website and hit the "control" button while clicking the link and save to the disk then play w/ quicktime.
It should work on widows machines. I've been looking for a way to convert my raw video to .wmv so everyone can use it but I can't find a converter for mac. mpeg 4 is the only format I can find that I can code that leaves a decent picture w/ good sound. Its either that or cruddy sound or cruddy picture or a wide-by-huge file. I run virtualPC windows XP in the background and it works on that. I do get occasional emails from people saying they can't get the mpeg4 to work, but my hands are tied until I can find a way to make the stuff .wmv. I'm open to suggestions, I'm not very savvy in this area..
If you do get them to work, the 11sec run and block cruise are the only interesting ones.

(sorry for the forum placement issue)

Hey Got it. Looks good. My car looks just like yours but
I have 15 welds. What exhaust do you have ?
I have a borla 3" sound is close to yours.
Thanks learn something new every day.

Exhaust is a hooker super comp ceramic (until I hit anothe bump and blow them open..) headers 2" primary (might be a bit big) followed by a custom x-pipe installed by SD concepts (procharger oriented speed shop in RI) with full 3" tails dumping at the rear bumper. I have some nice SS tips for a 3" I got from stainlessworks that need to go on. Mufflers are 3" offset/offsett 20" case dynomax hemi super turbos, they blow out every 3 years but I love how quiet they are w/o any performance cost, so I don't mind.
The vids I like were taken with a digital camcorder on a very old tripod duct taped to a cheesy floor mat.
I'm expecting/hoping to tune to 118+ for this summer.
I don't know how much power my stupidity has cost in regards to the residual pressure valve squeezing my rear discs, but I can hope.
I'd take better videos but the best ones I have were taken on an old fashioned camcorder and I need to port them to digital vid to post, and I'm lazy.. The moving burnout vids are excellent.
if there were alot of typos I'm up too lat,e sick, & can't sleep.
Glad they worked. I will add a how to disclaimer for the vids on how to work them for different computers. Now if I could just figure out who is visitng the site from taiwan all the time, I'd like to talk them its pretty neat..
