Rennlists own Graham_Mitchell held the camera as if it was on a tripod on these films.

The still images are my work and the first one under the light is from earlier this year, check out how the light on the wall looks like a 928 headlight:

Your car sounds incredible... even from a distance! You can hear it growling a mile away.

You scare me driving that fast with the snow/ice on the side of the road though! Dont get too crazy

Does your car have traction control or was that you going easy on the peddle until the wheels started hooking up (in the last video)?

Hyperfish

sweanders-

NICE stuff! The still are REALLY nice, great eye, composition, exposure, etc.

What did you shoot the stills with?

sweanders

Thanks guys.

Remember that you can get pretty much the same sound with just an RMB..

I shot everything, both the stills and the films with a Canon Ixus400. I believe it's called the Canon Powershot 400 in the states.



Test of the camera

sweanders

Haha, thanks.. The nice thing is that inside the car it's not experienced as any louder than stock. The RMB is the best upgrade to the car ever..


Don't worry, it was snowing heavily the day before and those patches on the grass just hadn't melted away like the rest of it has.


No traction control, just me trying to limit the slipping of the wheels.. It was a bit wet at the time.

With a RMB, is only the catalytic converter left? or is there another muffler up there with it?

On my car, all I have is the original cat up front, and a stainless steel muffler in the far back... sounds really nice but I am thinking about cutting the cat converter out. Wondering if it will be too loud or sound even better heh.... in any event, i need to do something with that old cat.

sweanders

The cats and resonators are in place. Just one muffler removed.

The exhaust systems are different on the pre-S4 cars and I have no idea how it would sound. I bet nobody would doubt it being a V8 though..

Toejam

I got that resonator cut-out today and all I can say is

OH S#!@

It sounds incredible

All that's on it now is that stainless steel performance aftermarket muffler at the far back. It sounds like a racing 928 now It's got that mix of deep growling tones... and then you stomp it and get the high rpm's scream of a true porsche engine with that RAANANANA sound as you let off a little

All of you out there should run as little muffling as possible on this car lol

Now I love driving this car even MORE if that is possible.... and I drive it everyday. Im considering NOT moving closer to school this semester just so I can have a farther commute That's what kept me going this last semester.

Hey Anders,
Is there a trick to connecting to your clips? Clicked the link, opened Win Media player (on XP Pro), and tried w/wo the firewall - no go!
Was hoping to enjoy the (virtual) experience of your machine - as mine are in winter hibernation.

Garth I thought it wasn't working for me either, but it was just a little slower to load than what we are used to.

No slam on you sweanders, great videos, thanks!

What program did you use to publish the video for the web?

Lizard928

T_max and Garth, the file format is that of Windows media player, get this program and you will then be able to view, it is probably alread on your comp just not installed, or try right clicking on it and save target as, then save it to your comp and play from there
