That is soooooooo much fun

I do that here in CA and SD once in a while....but in CA have to really watch for Highway Patrol.
I like those guys but a car in CA with Offroad Headers (legal in SD) is a special eye catcher for them

Not sure I would have gone WOT sitting next to a semi. Sounds good.

I think the traffic looks closer than it really is. There were several cars (what was that to the right??) that were going faster. A bit crowded however and in CA with those cars would have been a CHP close by

I have new respect for those CHP boys ever since one followed me on his motorcycle for a mile right on my tail and I had Off Road Exhaust. He checked me all out (I was cruising 45 mph in a 55 mph zone) and then he prolly thought "what the hay, he is just a hick from South Dakota with my SD Plates and driving like I was pulling an implement"

I was actually on my "test track" where I test Modifications in the country (rural area) but I do keep an eye on patrol even in those areas.

Ahh I probably should have mentioned he honked at me a few lights back and gave me a thumbs up so I was trying to put a smile on his face . Generally.. im usually out at night around 1-4am when the roads are empty. I will admit that I was out during the day and Im much more reserved around any traffic etc but it was a little tempting to let him hear it and get it on the gopro. Keep reminding myself I better not let that little camera get me into trouble

Hmmm, bet you didn't expect that folks would be critiquing your driving when you posted this, did you?

This is probably my favorite sound clip of an LT5 ever. Your car sounds amazing and the acceleration just looks brutal when you hammer it. Awesome video!

Yep......one of the best sounding ZR-1s and a great video (there are more videos in the Admiral 94 link below not to let the cat out of the bag)

A fun thread with lots of great photos/videos (very well documented)

Admiral 94 comes home - let the mods begin

My 500 hp ZR-1 sounds about like that in the video shown here but I love that short shifter

and........YES..............there are many that appreciate what we do in regard to modifications (even the truckers)

Always fun to get a seal of approval from the big trucks!

Haha actually yeah it crossed my mind because I was close to a truck but I dont mind at all and thanks !! I am really happy with the sound. Just for the record I am using a small microphone outside the car . I routed it so it's invisible and facing the road behind the car and seems to work as hoped with no wind noise.

I have a few more videos from that morning .. One of deccel in gear in which the sound is like gunfire in saving private Ryan I preferred the way it sounded on deccel before I removed the secondaries and had another chip done. I'm fairly certain I opted for the anti backfire Marc said he does and I'll have to talk with him about it but it definitely didn't snap crackle and pop before the recent changes. I'll try to get them uploaded today
