Default Raced 2 Carrera GTs (on video)

It was so much fun. I caught it on video (6 minutes worth). I was in a 99 Ford Mustang Cobra conv (nearly stock) in Germany on the Autobahn. I could only do 160MPH and they could keep going........I could still hear them while I was 200 yards/200meters behind them. Nothing like it. I am so pissed that the only other video I found on the web was only 22 sec clip revving while sitting still (except for the one on the Porsche site). I need help......I have the video on a mini DV tape. How can I get it hostedon the internet? You all have never seen anything like this as I was the driver and camera man-with top down 160MPH!!! but still safe. Only 6 min on video but we were driving together for over 75 miles. I know that sound well!!!

Gotta give respect to my Cobra also!!! It was way out of its league but held its grounds.

So I decided now to buy a 2003/2004 version of the Mustang Cobra and I will have 550 Horsepower when its shipped over here. Further dyno tuning in country. I will keep everyone posted.

By the way I live in Hockenheim, Germany. I will have a lot more video this spring because I know they will be testing it out on the track often. I will not be driving this time.

A GIG?!?!?! Dude, compress that. Shrink it down to like 320x240 or 640x480 and use Divx or WMV9 or MPEG4 and you'll have like 100mph per 10 minutes. I cant imagine how long that clip would need to be if it were 1gig COMPRESSED.

Default thanks for the cool comments

Glad you all liked your super car in action. 75 miles later I waved bye to both drivers as they exited of A6 on to A9 direction Munich. If they are on here reading this I would like to say HI again!!! And thanks for beating on me so bad. LOL

sweet video, thanks for sharing!

i liked the "150, i'm running with em". you were in the same "country" but it kinda looked like even that was debateable :-)

you are one crazy dude at 150+ with the top down, video recording with one hand :-)
