Re: The Beginning!

I remember that one!!!

Good one-liners from the Talon guys:

" I think he's scared"
"Holy S#%t"
"Holy S#%t"
"You sure you want some of that?"

Re: The Beginning!

Does anyone know the origins of that video, who the driver/owner of the Vette is, and what mods were done?

yeah, that is an all time classic....

"We'll rip you out of the hole"

Good find.

Ranks right up there with the Middle East burnout contest.

Re: The Beginning!

Its a C5 with the DRM (Doug Rippie) heads/cam package, about 400ish rwhp I think?

He had nitrous in it too. When they went from the dig, he sprayed it and blew the tires off, thats why it took a few seconds for him to come by them.

I believe he switched to a maggie afterwards, had the hood cut with the polished blower sticking out of the hood. He posts on corvette forum, I think.
