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.

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.

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 ;)
