[QUOTE=Tuxblacray]Good luck with the Verizon DSL thats what I have its pretty fast... I'd make a comparison here but I wouldn't want ta get ya started....
I still think Norbert must really like this guy ta let him drive his vette like that. Hope he brings it ta Effingham when Mike gets the track & strip done. Maybe we can drive it for him... [/QUOTE]
 
I am all for driving the Vette ! Mike is the man ! I wrote him a nice thank you note on CAC.
 
 
I have 5 meg now. Best Verizon offers is 1.5 on wireless, but at this point I will deal with it. I need a realiable internet service and Charter is not. I just did a speed test on my 5 meg service I am paying for and it was downloading at.479 kbps.

Ahh Verizon The Communication Company.  I called their tech support to help network our 3 computors in the house.  It only took them 3 hours of transfers and holding to tell me I needed a wireless dsl box.  They sent it to me and it only took them 1 1/2 hours to hook it up and that kicked my wife off her internet at work because they changed some password.  It only took her an hour to get back on.  The communications experts.

THANX FOR REACTIONS Big%20smile He was just driving it so i could hear the exhausts as i'm working on them. ( and be sure , he's shifting some rev's earlier than i should ... )
I think such litlle video's are much nicer than pics.... perhaps a idee to go ? And most camera's are now able to shoot short movies as mine does. You don't need a special video camera .Mine is a SONY 7.2 MP , VX DSC-W7 and can film unlimited upp till the card capacity ofcoarse.
 
EXHAUSTS... I had originaly side pipes but found them to loud ( just beneath the doors... ) and those are not performance ( small tubing ) , just show pieces. So i bought originaly LT1 exhausts where the headers start 2" ( small block ) but directly go over in 21/2".
Those installed i found the car tooo quiet....so again not good for me LOL
Also a bit "showy" is that litle tubing from the muflers to the big rectangular exhausts ends. So i cut away this tube , made a rectangular hole 120 x 60 mm and welded a pipe 120 x 60 mm from mufler to the stainless ends. This is as you hear it on the movie.
Found the sound great but have some "resonance" noice inside the car up till 2000 rev's which again is not nice. So now i go experimenting with perforated plate inside the rectangular tube ( and a full flow tube from the center tube in the mufler as original ) so i can obtain a noise between original and as now but eliminating that resonance at low rev's.
let you know how it evolves... for the freeeeks ! Geek
 
see you !
