Well you can't see the RSB unless you get up under it. They tuck the thing up and over the single pipe of the exhaust before it splits into the Y pipe for the mufflers. I'll have the intake on for the meet on the 26th fursure!

Great Vid, Birdman looks like he's late for work or something...

The video was great, would have loved to hear Trooper's exhaust in action though. The VDC off button is so tempting, but I need to stay away from it...:tup:

Nice vid rawrz...it's like i've been there...

+1 :tup:

Nice Vid
 
Well done Birdman -- good to meet you guys yesterday, hope to see you at future events.

rarwz 02-13-2011 08:56 AM

i'll bring the cam to each event, maybe you guys can do something worth taping :driving:

I can definitely do some exhaust clips, inside outside type things.

Would love to go to the track for a test&tune day, or FATT @ summit point. summit + gopro would we awesome!

Nah can't be late for church man :) It was tons of fun exchanging tips and ideas with all during the meet; looking forward to meet the rest of the crew during the spring.

b1adesofcha0s: PM rarwz he has all the clips of trooper's exhaust, I swear you can hear that monster 3 blocks away and it sounds awesome. He reved it past a couple of police officers :bowrofl:

Nice video. I had to laugh at the "we got lost and had to use the GPS" part! LOL. I agree that taping up at Summit Point or VIR this year would be great. No burnouts in the parking lot though for me. We aim to keep a good rep with the businesses so they won't mind us using their parking space. Reminds me of the VA Trooper who stopped at one of our Fairfax meets and asked if we were the ones who laid rubber in the parking lot of Starbucks.

Yep, definitely. No burnouts, crazzy revving, or any of that stuff in the parking lots. We're better than that.

You can drive however you want to/from but be safe. And when we do our cruises our primary focus is on doing it safely...

Sorry to be a buzzkill but that's just how we roll, have rolled, and will continue to roll. :)

I am so ready to have a track day! We can have our regular meet one day and then all drive down to the track, or just have the meet at the track. Of course we have to wait for the weather to get better.

I do some private test & tunes with a Mercedes group at MIR during the season. $100 gets you a full day... only ~40 cars show so you could put in a hundred passes if you wanted. I'll let you guys know when the first one is this season.

They usually rent the track out for a Friday 9-5 session.

Is that a road track or a drag strip? I would like to go to a drag strip first since I'm not getting an oil cooler any time soon. To confirm what some of the guys told me yesterday, it costs around $15 to get in (for drag strip) on a non-event day and you can go as many times as you'd like. Also they check your car to determine whether or not you will need a helmet. Would a stock 370Z require a helmet? What about one with full bolt-ons? Do you have to bring your own helmet if you are required to wear one?

I've never been to a track or drag strip, but I'm really excited to go for my first time. If any of you have been following the UK Top Gear, they came to the MD/VA area for one of their newer episodes. They went to Capital Raceway in MD for a race between a Ferrari 458 and Mercedes SLS, it was pretty cool.
