Nice. Canon and RED...good stuff. Great shots.

Since I have three GoPros now, I can do some stuff like this with some video. I know they aren't as good as a Canon or Nikon but their size and flexibility make it for me.

My friends at Bird's Eye Productions shot this, and they are doing this for people as a affordable service now. Pretty killer stuff and was an obvious blast to shoot. Their website is: http://www.birdsiproductions.com

Also, here's a vimeo link for those wanting a bit more bitrate for breakfast:

Feel free to ask away about the car or share the video!

Awesome vids! I am just curious about the front wheel shook so much when you started the burnout, was it you shaking the wheel do to the sudden vibrations or was it steering component bushing play?

I wondered that too, I remember OP was having issues with the Steeda ball joints. Sick video none the less.

Wheelhop. whole chassis is shaking along with my hands, arms and body. There's no play anywhere after replacing the bushings. I'll certainly check now that I'm paranoid.

I think I have some video (we rendered it in reverse) that has full on wheel hop at 160fps.

Good god, what all suspension is in the rear?

J&M PHB, J&M polyball LCA's, Koni yellows (near full soft at that time), Eibach sportlines, Eibach adjustable bar set to medium, whiteline LCA relo bracket.

It was pretty cold out there when we started (630AM at about 4k feet elevation), the tires were hard as rock which I feel really contributed to the hop. After driving around and warming them up the car was much more compliant.

Oh man, best pictures ever!!!
Are those the stock projectors that came with GT's of a specific trim level? They actually look better with the boss grille than the boss lights do imo.

 

[captdistraction]

Those are the stock 2010-12 GT HID units. They have some nifty switchbacks (white when parking lamps on, yellow / off flash when turn signal) but otherwise stock.

Reminds me of this scene:

Showcase videos are rarely worth my time...but this definitely an exception! Really nice work.

Thanks for sharing the wheel hop clip. Really shows how bad it is for the entire car!

 

[captdistraction]

Its brutal. I played it back in 1/2 speed and you can really see how all the panels move in relation to each other. The chassis is stiff, but that kind of thing finds the play in every bolted on part.
