Z28's first kill.

Well... me and a buddy stuck his new sony digicam on the tripod in the rear seat... and bungee'd it in.

And... videos tell better stories... it's nothing special though.

Right click, save as... please (http://www.bottomliner.com/Z28vs3rdgenTA.wmv)




:smile:

wish i could see the other car.


but more important, was she hot?

not really... no...

although couldn't tell all that much, cause she wouldn't look over. :mad: what a biotch!

I thought you said the clutch was basically gone and you couldn't race the Z28?? either way nice kill, but it didn't have the excitment, and didn't go on long enough!

cool man. That's a good place to video something. Although there should be a system to rotate the camera to the right or left.
Then you should learn the passenger how to handle it. That would be awesome.

Yr car "body rolls" alot when you step on it. Maybe a new spring setup next to the new clutch? :p

Looked like fun Matt

Well, the rear quarter panels would block any view you'd have if the camera were to pan left or right.

We set the camera up back there just to record our cruising. We didn't intend on racing, that just happened.

The clutch only acts up when you get on it, normal driving... it's ok. I'll be nursing it along as long as I can then replacing it with something better.

Yeah, the stock suspension is anything but perfect in a F-body. Of course, with most cars, the stock suspension is merely adequite.

:bs:







j/k good jorb

Edit: You just couldn't get the job done with another chick could you. "no wonder you're still single." :tongue:

i want the damn story.

you see, one day the street racing forum will come to an end, and all races will be video only, stars will fall from the heavens, huge earthquakes will cause even bigger volcanic eruptions, tidal waves the size of mt everest, locusts will come from the bottomless pit and will torture men for 5 years...........................

i'm just saying i want the story :lol:

true.

vid was good but still lacks Red's story telling skills for him a word is worth a thousand pictures

good run and nice kill

Also true, write the damn story red, matt, whatever :biggrin:

Bahhh... fineee...

Ok, so it was saturday night. Cruisin night. What to do? Where to go?

My buddy just got this new Sony MiniDVD camcorder. Bitchin little thing, and I haven't had the Z28 for long so for us... it was a reason to go play with our new toys.

We mounted the camera in the rear on a tripod leanin back against the 'rear seats' with a bungee cord to the luggage sorta lope things... No idea what they're for, but they sure do make mountin' a camera a snap.

Anywho, get to cruisin... chasin the muff aroundd... ya know. What 20 something year old guys do.

About 30 miles into our drive, our plan was to take the coast highway as far south as we could without freeways. We pull into a housing complex thinking it was going to take us down to some remote beach/pier thing we'd never seen before. We were wrong, the name was decieving. With a name like Monarch Bay, you'd think you could get to the beach.

Which, as it may be... you probably can. Cause it's a private community complete with a fat black dude at the gate sitting in a hut looking at us... a white guy and a vietnamese guy ... already suspicious right?... pull up in a Camaro... I think he'd already speed dialed the police. Not sure... but whatever... I didn't stick around to find out.

We flipped a bitch, and went back to the coast highway. Made our right turn as a black late 80's Trans Am went by with what sounded like flowmasters... I know it was flowmasters cause nobody is original with American cars and all use Flowmasters. I'm sick of flowmasters.

Anywho, about 5 minutes later we pick our way through traffic. I have no intentions of playing with the Trans Am. We're just cruising and enjoying the night... and our 80's extreme mix cd. Which includes some Guns N' Roses, Nirvana and Wilson Philips "Hold on for one more day".

As you can see in the video, I pulled in behind the Trans Am. But the cars that were in my lane both went into the turn lane. So, I went back to the left lane.

As I pulled up to the light, I looked to my right and saw the lady. Still rolling, I downshift to 1st gear and she just randomly guns it. You can probably pick her car out in the audio going at it first.

I wind out 1st gear, and hit second hard with a small chirp of the tires I'd put 2-3 cars on her by the end of 2nd gear. I let off, and upshift to 3rd gear and coast. She stayed back.

My clutch wasn't all that happy with me, infact it gave me it's two weeks notice and told me to go fuck myself. Which is fine, I don't need you clutch. Get outta my life, you low life whore........... um Yeah... anywho.

We start to come up on another red light as you can see, she rolls up. Light goes green, I start to take off somewhat normal thinking she wasn't going to do it again. But she did, this time tried to shift as slowly, but as fast as I could not to piss my clutch off more. That's why you see the nose dip so much while I shift.

This time, she was able to keep me off for a few more seconds. But at the top of 2nd gear I was ahead by a solid car and half.

After that, she stayed back and didn't even want to say hi when we did finally get her come past us.

Worst off, she wasn't hot... she looked pretty old. Like in her late 30s, and somewhat fat.

What a waste... Although, it was a simple race, so I'm happy.



There... ya happy? Ya fuckin fucks!:lol:

Bahhh... fineee...

That story sucked. Next time give us a video.

Congratulations Captain Obvious. I did give you a video. :rolleyes:

Yeah, now we want a story.

:banghead:

:banghead:





:flipa:

:owned:

LMAO, this whole second page is classic :lol:

lol tx for the story. :biggrin:

rofl

:confused:

In most situations you will hardly ever see an Indian as confused as I am...??

EDIT: The vid looks like it was completely hand drawn by a 5 year old. Plus the sound was off by 2 secs. And it looks like it was all in slow motion. Either that or your car is just slow. Worst animation ever!! :tongue:

EDIT(2): I get it now!! It was done in one of those simulators, right? Kinda like a flight simulator, only you get the experience of the Z28. That's why everything looked off. Ah, got it now! :thumbsup:

:chair:

yea, the stories are really good. good "race" i suppose. the story makes up for the lack of action.

... Ok... I just won't post anymore videos.

I'm sorry you guys couldn't see the car I was racing. It wasn't our intention to film racing, just us cruising. It was an excuse to play with the camera.

I posted the race, cause I would of posted the story anyways. Just trying to back myself up. And for your enjoyment.

So whatever... no videos for you.

BUT WHYYYYYYYYY????!!!!! :crying:

How about you post the vid and a story at the same time so everyone is happy? Saves the time for everyone having to bitch about it. Truthfully, I enjoy the vids, most people here can't even get them when they promise them. So, it's good that atleast a few people can deliver when they say they are going to. To tell you so far, I've saved every one of your vids thus far. Memories, ya know? Keep up the good work Red.

Sounds like a great idea civ.

So yeah red, in the future i think we all can agree that you should post them together. Good thinking there civ. :p

Good kill, on whatever it was that you raced. I couldn't see the other car due to the camera angle. Let me know when the new clutch is in, so we can do a Matt v. Bobby run. Also let me know when Terminal Velocity is ready to race me.
