no, it was none other than an LS1; and a complete stripper model at that.
I just want to know if it was black or silver? (Chuck or Glenn).

Your right DV, that will be the last thing on my video before this appears in your video. Bu don't fret, it will keep getting smaller and smaller. Should make a nice compilation video.

DV, don't get the wrong idea.

We are a pretty close knit group who share an interest in testing not only our cars, but ourselves. It becomes grossly obvious, very quickly, who is a driver and who isn't. If your aren't, there is always drag racing ...

We are out there to have fun.

Everyone else is there for the same reason. Egos are checked at the front gate and we ALL have the same goal in mind ... have fun and don't bend anything.

It's not racing ... it's driver's education ...

Having said that ...

Wave at me once, at the beginning of the day. That will reduce your risk of carpal tunnel throughout the day as I go by ...

you sure you guys aren't cops? most everyone i work with is extremely competitive, but there is a time to talk smack and a time for serious bidness.

i think it will be a lot of fun. competitive personalities tend to make you try harder, which makes you better overall. we should all learn a great deal from each other. just follow my tail lights and you'll know the line to take.

most agencies send their officers through a familiarity course when they get a high performance car so they can get used to the handling difference. my commander asked me to find us a driving school and this is what i came up with. i'm trying to work out a deal with the TMS so we can go out there and do some high speed runs. on top of all that, i'm also trying to get a schedule to get police pursuit driving instructor certified.

i've also got it scheduled for january to go through another 3 day pursuit driving school. now THOSE are fun!

does anyone have a camera mount or a way to shoot from the back window? the bragging rights you'd have if you had a bunch of footage of a B4C, lights going, behind you. at close distances, who's going to notice it's a track?
