Well as the title says i was bored tonight, so on my way home from my cottage i took out my new camera and tried out the Video part of it. Its a little shaky due to me having to hold it but you will get the point.

Also i was having a problem getting traction in 1st

Not bad for closing in on 200k.

 

Nice clip. Not bad for an old-timer approaching 200k. Video quality looks great, too. Mine gets all blurry when it's dark out.




[mod edit -- use PM for such questions]

 

i love watching those kind of vids.

BTW, what was up with that delayed 1-2 upshift?

 

Its the new A610 canon. works great. Still need to make a good videotape session yet before the snow falls

 

The tires were spinning that whole time, its hard to tell in the video but i was having a hard time gettign traction and was fethering the throttle to keep it off the limiter as best as possible

 

kool....nice intro..heh heh

 

wow... what a tease... Do you normally redline the TL like that or is it a once in a while kindathing?

 

That was an awesome clip! Wish you could have kept it going, but I imagine holding a camera while going over 100mph is pretty scary. Thanks for posting that.

 

Why stop it there? Why not top it out? I'm actually planning on topping my TL out over Christmas to impress a female friend of mine (yeah I'm 19 and it shows )...but she loves "fast cars"(TL fast? ha...) and she really wants to do it so I'm giving in even though I think it is unsafe. I feel pretty stupid for obliging, but will feel like a wimp if I don't do it since she is into it and I'm not. 147mph seems too fast for me but she wants to do it because the fastest she has gone is 135mph in a RSX-S. Hopefully I don't dissappoint. Flame me all you want, I deserve it.

Sorry

Mark

 

Have her videotape it and post here.

 

Nice video, what are those lights that are illuminated on your dashboard? SRS and check engine light?

 

I would tell her she can ride all the way to the top, but she has to be topless by the time you hit 147. That should make things interesting (Considering that the TL at over 140 feels as smooth as at 75, she might want to add her share to boost the rush)

 

Ass, grass, or cash... nobody rides for free.

ANYWAY, thanks for the video fsttyms1 ...I'm goin to time your 0-60 hahaha

 

it was like 9 seconds cause all the spinning out.

 

The lights on in the instrument cluster appear to be SRS and the TCS light (because he had the system off).

Daily occurance

Well i was closing in on a car, and there was a turn coming up (could tke it at 100 but nothing more)
there is a video of me doing much more than that floating around

 

well its not a top out but it is faster, plus alot more video footage

CLICK HERE <-------------- Repost for some

 

The back roads you were on reminded me of the opening scene in Jeepers Creepers , it was the first movie I believe, with the BEATNGU truck. That will make no sense if you have not seen the movie.

Cool viedo though, thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it.

It's 16.2 MB and the Windows Movie Maker won't import .mov files (it's a quicktime file) so I can't resize it.

I went to that site, then clicked on "Rad Video Tools" which took me to another web page with downloadable stuff. But I didn't find "Rad Video Tools" on there to download. Or am I supposed to pick one of the items listed on there -- Bink Video, Mils Sound System, Granny 3D, Pixomatic, or Smacker??

 

Yup, but let me take all the work out of it for you

didn't you use to have some kind of bracket to hold your camcorder ?

how much do you charge for a car wash ?...lol

 

the video i posted before rob my thread i just held my camera. As for the other video some of it was used with a camera mount some a friend held the camera (before i had made a mount)

car washes are FREE!

You are welcome for the feedback... that is truly what the forums are about. But since there is everything on the net and lots of it, too, anything can be expected. So please do not let that deter your posting.

In anycase, I deserve a whopping

However, putting anyone else at risk (I mean, your car is not a certified track car, right, so anything can happen at those "illegal" speeds) merits that that person reward you with a nice kickback. In my book, some T&A is less of a sin than jeapardy of life and limb, specially if they have the rack to flaunt.

I am not saying "don't do it". Just that it might not be such a good idea to take ANYONE with you while you attempt it. This message will be hard to sink into your mind, however, because of your age. After all, invicibility starts wearing off after you hit a quarter century of life. Most likely you'll be doing this at night when the streets are less crowded, but even with hids, visibility will be reduced to one fourth of what you get to see during daylight hours. A bat going through your windshield at 140+ MPH can cause some severe damage.

The TL (at least the Type-S) is a thrill to get up to speads over 140 MPH, however, once there, it feels just as smooth as at 75 MPH. Make sure your tires are balanced and the car is aligned, that your coolant is topped off, that your sensors are all operating properly, that your brakes are good and that you have plenty of blacktop to achieve the desired speed. It takes a while to get up to the top (maybe even more than a minute). I also recommend use of a top fuel such as CITGO's 93 octane or better.

Oh, and the classy thing to do for this girl would be to sign you and her up for THIS THRILL

Going back to the top, however, don't stop posting and let us know how it went.

Thanks for the technical advice on topping the car out...that was more what I was hoping for with my first post. I just made the mistake of providing too much background info, thus opening the door for digressive comments.

most hijacked thread in my short AZ history...sorry guys

 

Kris,

Love you videos, the only thing you were missing in the second video was to get some air time (maybe a big hill or something) that would have been awesome.

Rob, nice driving, when I play that game I am all over the place.
