Wow, big congrats to you, Brian. That looks like lots 'o fun!

John

Oh that had to be a blast! Lucky you Brian!

Next you'll get a call from the "Rednecks" in Dollywood :woot:
Congrats Brian!

WOW!

:RunninDog:

Brian,Very Cool.

Now I have a reason to go watch that movie. :peepwall: :peepwall:

Very cool Brian. Bet your pops and daughter had a blast too. :thumbsup:

Very cool Brian! Looking forward too checking it out..

cool deal! I was wondering whose 2nd gen Dave was referring to in the Fast 6 thread

Thats pretty cool! I'll have to keep an eye out for it.

I know that a replica of the Anvil Mustang is featured in this movie (already destroyed in the trailers sadly), and that Big Red and the F-Bomb made appearances in films prior. Really cool to see cars I'm familiar with on the big screen!

What!? That's to cool! Someday...

That is awesome Brian! How many people can say they've had that kind of experience with their car and to be able to include your dad and daughter also. :thumbsup:

I enjoyed spying your car in the movie! Definitely shows you did more than a few things right!! Huge congratulations!

Just read today that the "6" was Universal's largest intro gross yet, personally i believe it, they came to see a glimpse of the orange '73.....hehehe

I wish that were true and I got my 12 seconds of royalty fees! :G-Dub:

Brian

Brain that it awesome! Well it took a few of these movies but they finally got it, more people like our old cars then looking at Hondas!!

That is so cool that you got to share that with your farther and daughter.

Brian,Myself,wife and son Brandon went sat night.Had to sit thur 2.5 hour's of the rock to finnally see the bomb at the end!!!!!!.

Congrats Brian...very cool. :thumbsup:

That car is the poster child for 2nd gen Camaros for sure. :D

I went to the SoCal Challenge over the weekend and had a blast. I had never been there before, so I had not learned the tricks of the track. I recently put on Falken RT 615K's and I have been impressed. I was fortune to win the overall during the day. I was only .1 off the track record on the Falkens. At the end of the day, the track and So Cal crew let me throw on my year old Goodyear slicks for an attempt at the track record. My shifter was hanging up on me on my downshifts from 3rd to 2nd, so I ran up on the rev limiter until my last lap. I hated doing this! I had a delay due to over heating, but they waited it out for me. I had one crack at it and I made the best of it. The old track record for the past year was held by a modified Miata with aero and forced induction. His time was a 43.24. I beat it by 2 seconds with a 41.25.

Here is a video of the run from the left quarter panel view. The new sound out of the exhaust is courtesy of a new Black Widow muffler. I love the sound.

Awesome setting a track record!! Sweet....



I have to tell ya though --- I'm not sure I'd run my car on that track -- holy crap that's narrow!!

Knew you'd break it! Not even close. Congrats. What was your street tire time for comparison?

Exhaust sounds good. Change just for something different?

Thats aweome!! Congrats!!

Awesome! Man, that stack of tires looked CLOSE!!!

^ This^

Holy crap, now I am kicking my self for staying home working on my junk instead of going. Looked like you used every bit of track, crazy run!!
:king:



Jon

That would be 43.34 on Falkens DG :twak: :smiley_smack: :hitaxeonthehead: Pay attention Flash.

Pretty awesome for "learning the tricks of the track"

:cheers:

Above is his original post earlier. He edited/added later after my reply.

Get your sh!t together before messin with me like that. :hitaxeonthehead:

:topic:

The track is narrow, but a lot of fun! I used all the track I could. I had to do my part in making sure American Muscle held that track record and I wanted to shatter it!

So Brian. You were running some pretty big Mich 19/20s last year for street tires. What size Flakens are you running? :headscratch:

Since the Corvette is down getting a new engine, I took the 315-30-18's I had for it and put them on some 18 x 10.5 wheels that were my rain tire/wheel set up for the Camaro. They are small for the Camaro and not an ideal size, but they work. I loved them on the Corvette and wanted to try them on the Camaro. The Camaro performed amazing on the Falkens. I could not believe the grip I was getting! I run that 315-30-18 on 18 x 12 wheels on the Corvette. 18 x 11 - 11.5 may be best for that size.

Brian

Thanks. I was wondering what you ended up doing since I've never seen those Falkens in the larger sizes like the 345 your were running. I was kinda hoping you were going to say they had released some larger sizes. I know Brett is digging those Falkens on his car.

The tire chicane didn't make a bit of difference...you didn't miss a beat.

Congrats Brian.

I was watching the counter-steering out of the corners thinking "that track looks like fun."

I really liked the previous exhaust note and now it sounds even better. :thumbsup:

Congrats on breaking the record! Thanks for sharing the video, exhaust sounds great.
Brian, like Dave asked, I'm curious if you switched to a different muffler for the heck of it or performance reasons?

I have been nailed for being too loud with the Borla muffler that was originally on the car. I switched to a Flowmaster Race muffler like the Hush Power. That was better and it sounded good, but still a bit loud. Billy with Black Widow Exhaust Systems approached me and asked me to try his new design. The sound is a much crisper sound on my car. As the load and rpm increase, the sound db's do not increase. It may even get a bit quieter. I do not notice any performace advantage or disadvantage compared to my straight thru mufflers in the past. With 600 hp, it is hard to feel one way or another.

Awesome. Thanks for the ride.

Brian, congrats again on setting the track record out at Adams. I think most people that were chasing it are just going to give up now. Bret is going to take that ridiculous wing off his car and I'm going to dust off the lawn chair and have a go at the whole car show thing after watching that video of you posted up. And we weren't even going for the track record, just "fast times."

Matt

Here is a video my Dad shot at Adams Motorsports Park when I broke the track record. Please excuse the wind noise. It was a bit windy out there in the afternoon.

That was fun to watch....congrats on the run.

Where is that park?

Brian what color orange is that? I echo the previous comments. Thanks

It is a custom color we came up with at the shop. Check out the Vibrance Collection. Nice colors there.

Brian

Thanks Brain, I am thinking about colors for my project and orange is one of my options. Kevin
