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  ). I need to get a video of that.

Are you trying to make fun of the old Lexus commercial? 
Remember seeing an ad 10+ yrs ago with them putting a cup of water on hood and nothing happened.

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.

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

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
Setting off alarms in parking garages almost seems unfair these days

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