0-100 video of my 427 BDR in HD
Just got my Go Pro camera. Films 60 frames per sec in HD. Waterproof to 180' 270$ bucks... Love it. Here is a test run to about 95-100mph. Sun was in my face, so video could be better. 3rd gear to to limiter [6400rpm] Roush 427, Drag radials.
Got a few better ones I will edit and post soon. Enjoy!!

Aww, we've all "stretched our legs" on a city street before; no harm done. I kind of liked it.  |

Nice car, nice day, nice passenger.
I never cease to be amazed that people will post a permanent record of their propensity for reckless driving on the Internet. Apparently they can't imagine that it may be used against them if they're ever in an accident where they might be at fault.

It looked like you were turning the steering wheel so easily I thought I was power steering; I need to use 2 hands to turn my wheel... just wondering.

When they closed down the race track in Hawaii I started seeking out the longest entrance ramps around the island I could find.
The best one wasn't far from home either, REALLY long, I could get into 4th and, well, I could get into 4th... 
On the race track (never on the street of course) 4th was somewhere North of 115 mph coming out of 3rd. |

We have a nice spot not too far from where I live. It's a freeway stretch probably around 3/4 mile between exits, with few spots for the CHP to hide. Pull over, look around, and launch. You "f" up, and you're on your own pal.
Also, NO co-pilots...ever. When I give a ride, it's pretty damn tame. "F" that up, and you have the potential of "F'ing" yourself up along with the unlucky person that's along for the ride.

Well... I appreciate all the comments. Good and bad. This is not something I do often. So please lets move on... Lets enjoy the story the video tells. We have all been in the same seat..........
The camera is great. All gearheads should have one. Can be mounted anywhere.... Under the hood, suspension articulation, the suction cup mount is solid, the options are endless. http://www.goprocamera.com/
Here is the car.

OK, I'm willing to forget the whole thing.  Anyone on this board who owns a Cobra and says they've never gotten a little "high-spirited" on the street is just full of crap. |

Good call native1, it's cool. This kind of talk ALWAYS come's up when it comes to this kind of thread, that's OK. Nothing wrong with a balancing act.
Patrick, the last couple of years I was in Hawaii I drove right by Dog's "Da Kine Bail Bond" office every day. Met him, talked story, seen him around town on a number of occasions, it small kine place da island.

Shoot, I have a Jeep that sees 100+ several times a week!!!
Granted, it's a 420HP, 6.1 HEMI, SRT8 Jeep, but it's still a Jeep!!!
I love the sound of your car, and it looks great, too! Nice camera. I gotta get me one of those!

Did you notice the red light on the dash was on, I think that means theres something up with the alternator.
