Default 150mph blast

Headed down to hang with the MESV boys and girls for Mooses Christmas party yesterday. I happen to have the camera in the vette, so I shot a quick video while going up South Mountain. She was still pulling strong when a car came over into my lane up ahead and I had to back off until it moved back into the other lane.
Come catch me Santa!

Take some Dramamine you lighweight!
The two shakes are when I went over brindge expansion joints. Other than that, I think it's pretty smooth for holding the camera on the steering wheel.

For sure Kevin. It's nice and tight. No drifting, no swaying. At about 110, you can feel it squat down and grab the road. From there it's just point it where you want it to go.
The wheel stays steady at speed now. I actually sat the camera on top of the steering wheel and held it there while I had it recording.
Now if I just had about 175 more horses to the wheels, I could catch up to the Gentlemans Cruiser.
Playing today and tomorrow while we have a couple warmish days.
