My RX7 and my buddy's 410whp lightning riping up STL *VIDEO*!!!

Here is a clip I made of my RX7 and a few of my buddies car's in STL. During these videos I was running 10psi (330ish whp) on some of them and 16psi (430ish whp) on the other runs. The lightning puts down 410whp and 550lbs of torque . Other cars are a Stage 2 cobalt with bolt ons and a lightly modded SRT-4. Also there is a bolt on camaro SS and built up cobra. Also, the C6 was not a Z06. Anyway tell me what you guys think.

PS: The videos of me vs the cobalt, I was running 10psi. All of the others I was running 16psi.

Editing was good, content was fair. I'd have cut out a few of the blurry races.

I am the fastest. The lowered Lightning has 410whp and 550lbs of torque. He gives me a run for my money from 0-60mph but when I hit third game over. Also my buddy's Ninja 650R gave me some good runs too, but I beat him every time also. He only wanted to race me when I didn't have my camera . Oh well there is always next summer................
All of the videos of the Lightning vs. Camaro were me taping it. He got pulled over so I got out of the truck and ran on foot. Had a friend pick me up. That is a whole different story..........

Content was horrible, why you ask?

1. Filming races at night is aweful.
2. Filming races while on low boost is boring.
3. Ricer flyby on the C6 was pretty silly.
4. Filming races at night is ridiculous.
5. Man up and make some video during the day.


Here is a killer example:

Here is an example:

My RX7

http://www.sporttuned.com/watch.php?v_id=225
1. Ok, its hard to find a nice open road in the day time (BTW: I had some day shots in there).
2. Sorry about the low boost thing, I didn't have a boost control at that point in time (Was running off of the wastegate spring).
3. I raced the vette from 60mph to about 90mph. It was a very short race, killed him by 2-3 cars because I got the jump. So not a flyby.
4. Its just harder to see some stuff but the quality isn't that bad.
5. I already did, also when I whipped up on the 600cc bikes no one wanted to run again for fun on video.......

I like the way the music was in sync with the starting of the races/fly-by's. I agree with everyone else on the night video.
P'S
Lupe, the video was very nice, cars are sweet. A little shaky though.

Yea, I wish I could video record and drive! During all of the lighnting races vs the Camaro I was holding the video camera. I think I did a pretty good job but I admit its not perfect. The car that raced the cobra was my buddy's modded civic. Trust me if it would have been me you would have heard my two wastegates opening. I ran the cobra after that and won all three times. It wasn't very quick because it was N/A. Anyway I have more video of us racing but it is really shaky. I tried to use the best quality for this short intro video.

Thanks for watching,
Phil

we don't all live in the middle of nowhere to find big empty roads during the day time.

i film a lot of street racing and around here, it is close to impossible to film day time videos without..

1.) getting caught.
2.) almost hurting someone.
3.) all of the above.

and i don't know why you all are complaining, i can clearly see what is going on. again, good video from another filmers point of view.

sorry, I didn't have any sound on my lappy when I watched and I stopped watching after the first cobra race. What year was that cobra?

The Cobra was an 01-02 if I remember right. It was not the 03-04.
