there's an sti in my garage, so i get to compare the two cars quite a bit :D

Your video sucks... The first one should be an audio clip and the second one why did you have us watch 13.5 minutes of crap before your first run.
PS.. Next time.. Don't try to do your little commentary.
Congrats on the turbo.

Nice. If that was an attempt at humor you really need to work on your delivery.

Stuck in a love triangle
That second video was great. I just thinkyou should edit it andget rid of allthe regular driving. Theres really only three or four actual portions of it that actually show your cars performance. I liked the part where you pointedout the fact that BOV is somewhat audible from within the cabin(I definitely heard it). But 16 min is a lot to seek through forwhats really only about 3 minutes or so of actual turbo performance. Thanksfor going through the hassle of making that video though.

No worries, I won't be doing that anymore. Trying to find a little remote for my camera so I can put a button on my steering wheel to turn the record on and off.
P.S. Jeff, if you add anymore videos, let me know so I can add the link to the first post of this thread so people can find it easier... <-- talk about a run-on sentence.. lol

Driving the '8 can be a bit of "Dukes of Hazzard" now if I'm not careful.:D

please in your next video have someone film you as you do a slow drive by and shift in front of the camera so we may hear the BOV from a on-lookers point of view and some shots of the car taking off from a stand still so we can see just how much kick out of the rear tires their is that you speak off when shifting.
Please. :D
Please. :D
