Vid - me lapping at VIR

put this little vid together from this past weekend at VIR. I went out with my Z on the parade laps they let people do during lunch and my wife followed in her Mazdaspeed. They have a pace car that limits the speed so we topped out at about 80mph but still had a lot of fun through some of the turns. Also some additional vid of other cars on the track including other Z's, my buddy's ACR Viper, EVO's, Ferrari's, Vette's, and a bad a$$ Audi S4 wagon with the V8 that sounded bad as HE11 (you'll hear me comment on the vid cuz it goes by fast but you can hear it really good).

BTW I got a full dual exhaust system put on my Z today so all future vids should sound MUCH better.....just ask Rob.....saw him at the store on the way home from picking up the car tonight and gave him a stoplight rev session to see how it sounded.....can't wait to hear it from outside the car myself

The vid is only about 5 minutes long and 9 meg file size.

Thanks!!! Yeah, that EVO was actually one of the fastest cars out there that day. He was eating some vette's and old lightweight Z's on a regular basis. Sounded like he had some work done on it too.

Thanks!!! The mazdaspeed is awesome......it just has mediocre power but the handling is just amazing.....it's like a go kart.......after driving the heavier Z the mazdaspeed actually feels like a shopping kart

Nice video. Needs more Evo footage - that's my Evo. I also happen to have been the instructor for the F355 - talk about sweet music coming from the tailpipe.
