RC, you're crazy (a cup with water in it to show the shaking is just damn funny), but yep that's a nice healthy lope right there. I miss having a car that does that. My bike has a nice lope though (cams in the old R1 too :D ). I need to get a video of that.

It vibrates like a diesel truck

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Impressive IMO...would have been nice to see what happened when you blipped it though LOL

Are you trying to make fun of the old Lexus commercial? :mrgreen:

Remember seeing an ad 10+ yrs ago with them putting a cup of water on hood and nothing happened.

In Rolls Royce engines they do the same with a coin

HAHA funny for sure, but I was expecting some flooring to make the glass of water explode or something :D

Yeah, BMW did that with the M70 V12. They set a Deusche Mark on it's side on the intake to show how smoothly it ran.

Sounds like we need a follow up vid RC...

LOL!

You forgot the part about setting off car alarms in parking garages. That use to be my favorite part..

lol !
step on it !

in Milford there was a cirtain car show where the man in charge asked the owner to give some throttle on main st.... the engine was so over worked in it that it set off alarms on every car equiped down the length of the street :twisted:

its been quite some years... so i have no idea what car it was

Yeah - the "car alarm" video is another work in progress ;)

We set off our first open air car-alarms at a Wal-Mart parking lot the other day :twisted:

Setting off alarms in parking garages almost seems unfair these days ;)

Re: So what exactly is "Lope"?
 

Ricers could achieve the same effect except it would have to be with their ridiculous subs. :lol:

Lol... Im sorta ashamed to admit it but one night I had an exhaust off with my fathers truck. (ya know the semi with the diesel v10). It was pretty close till he hit the jakebreak(sp?)... At that point I just shut the car off and walked away... lol

Could be worse... with the heat from the engine melting the cup and ruining the paint :wink:

No worries about anything melting - the whole car is plastic remember ;)

Besides - the real advantage of this setup is that you can make Martinis on the boot-lid - shaken, not stirred... :P

LOL, the possibilities are endless !

Almost forgot it's plastic ;)

A bit off topic, but is it really true that cops' radar and laser don't work on a black plastic car? Heard about that myth for a while, dont really know it's true or not :roll:


Now, it would be hilarious if Bond decides to hop in a 'vette!

I don't know about radar but it sure doesn't hide a certain persons propensity to leave off his front license plate and get pulled over. ;)

Then again, you sure it wasn't some "James Bond" move that allowed the certain person to talk themselves out of handcuffs and the backseat of a patrol car and back into the drivers seat? ;)

no such thing as front mounted licence plates in Michigan :-D

about radar... that is a myth... years of working in radio astronomy... some things reflect radar back 'less' but ultimately, the angles are what is most important... some frequencies could pass through the plastic...but that has a 2-way meaning... it will hit the engine/chassis etc. and bounce back.

How do I see the video?

Ask nicely... ;)

LOL, the parking lot clips are hillarious, i set ones of in multi storey car parks with mine, but i need to give it some stick, where as yours seems to set them off at idle!

You know you could change your engine mounts to some poly-urethane ones, then youd emtpy that cup in seconds! :twisted: and have devised a cheap and easy constipation cure :wink:

^That would prolly be the last time his wife ever rides in his car... Wait is that a bad thing?

LMAO

well... we dont want to overstress those mounts, now do we?
