Yes because you NEVER say stupid **** while sober.... right????

On a side the note, the videos are uploaded to Kyles site from Sat. I think he wants to do some website majic to make it easier for people to download.

again. different purposes. an 8 could not pull away from an ss camaro in a straight line no matter how much turbo it had. the camaro would catch up on the straights in kerrville as well

Hehe, thats how I got them up there so "fast". It would have taken me days to do something like that at home as opposed to the couple of hours I spent doing it yesterday at work. Its funny though cuse downloading them from the site would have been super fast with a 600k a sec download speed I wish they had decent prices on synchronous home internet.

It is better for you to say nothing and have everyone think you are a fool, than open your mouth and let everyone know you are a fool....

nick, arent you a Rotary fan? remember how heavy the Camaro SS is (3800 pounds) with 426 horsepower (assumed at the flywheel) now it becomes a game of weight versus horsepower. if you drop a turbo in a 8 and have at least 300 wheel horsepower at 3000 pounds in my opinion the 8 won't be quite as fast but will still pull away from the SS in curves and by that time the 8 will be far enough ahead that even though the SS is faster in a straight line the 8 will be long gone

plus I didn't include the horsepower to weight ratios, if my math is correct the 8 will have 10 Lbs per hp while the Camaro has 8.9 Lbs per Hp

I forgot to mention the stock 8's weight to horsepower ratio which is 15.3 Lbs per Hp. this is being rated at the manuals Whp of ~195

So I dont really want to blow any more of Kyle's bandwidth, and I really want to see how well using the tex8 site will do when hosting large video files instead of putting them on youtube.

I've basically created a page that is not linked to from anywhere on the site, so the only way you can get to it is if you know it exists and have the name

If this works out well I dont mind hosting other RX8 videos you guys do as well

I'm gonna start uploading the DFW to Kerrvile draft tonight and then add the link tom when its done (will take awhile with a 60k a sec upload)

Good/Bad plan?

Just right-click "Save As" on these. If you try to just view them in the browser, you're likely to get an error.

Here's part 2 and part 3. For some reason, part 1 keeps wanting to throw an error. I'll see if I can figure it out.
