Default 1/4 mile run from inside is350 (video)(boring)

I went to ennis today with some 17" supra tires. Car didn't hook up worth a @#$%, but I did stick my point and shoot camera in my head rest and got it on film.

It's actually kind of boring, but I guess those of you wanting to know what the borla off road sounds like inside at WOT. here you go

Troy, you are definitely making good power and I think if you had just stayed and ran a few more times you would have left a happy man. I think this is like your 2nd or 3rd time that you have gone to the track, ran once and left pissed off based on your first run. I have never been happy with any of my first runs either.

lol... I like the freaking starbucks grande caramel macchiato. Nothing says I'm ready to drag race like a starbucks coffee in my Lexus. Your 350 does sound pretty good at WOT though.

It was also real crowded, and I had to do a domain upgrade at my work later that day. It would have been about an hour wait between runs.

I wont be out there again for another month either. I am going to a road race event in march though. Can't wait for that.

I can't wait for the RR event. I'm planning on having a blast on the track. The strip isn't all that for me. Its been more or less a dissapointment. Either ways its a good run and the car isn't that loud. At least did sound so for me.
