For those who doubt the SC POWER!

I made a little video of the rpm/speedo gauges later tonight. I was once one of those people who doubted the SC could be worth it for so little power. But after keeping up with an NSX (brand new, my buddy had it), i really think this car has transformed. Its not very good quality, but its enough to see the mph gauge really well. VSA was on though it got in the way.
The whine is incredible, i now call my car a Mini-Cobra! it sounds like a jet hauling ass, yet the looks make it look like its just cruising.

Have fun with it but don't get into trouble. Be careful, it can get addicting. Trust me, S/C addiction can become down right dangerous.

He has the high boost pulley...

We should race again now... see if your ECU 'learned' that you have a S/C

It was very impressive how quickly you got to 60. And, you left the VSA on! But that also showed that your tires were still trying to get grip at 55! Most impressive....2 thumbs up.

thanks for the comments everyone..and a special thanks to allmotor for getting me running.
i didnt believe his car was that fast until i ran him. either his car is a freak, or he can drive really well, all i know is that thing is quick.
i ran a s2000 with many boltons(as he said) the other night and was able to take him by over a car length, and this is with the crappiest launch i ever had (spun thru all of first and most of second) i wanted to run him again but my friend with G thought he was a better match and so i let them go for it.

As for the vid, it was on olympic
