So you've never sped once in your entire life in a 35MPH zone?

Sometimes bitching at people works! We have 2 more videos in one day!!!
Guys keep bitching at these people until they send us a lot of pics, videos, dynos, etc.
Gonna wait some more before buying my kit, but not too long, keep it up.

FWIW post count does not directly correlate with intelligence.

It doesnt? It does when your dealing with an online community. His knowledge is only that of what he reads. When you only have 80 posts it means you havent been on this board that much and dont have as much knowledge of what has been said.. what the general mood is about products.. etc...

but whatever god

Back to the videos..

(I still want my in car :p)

Man I hate to say this cause you're on a public road but.... That sounds f@cking sic. I've been waiting a long time for that. Now only if you guys would trade me camera work for a discount. I can do DVDs, web vids, commercials.... You got a close friend or family member getting married soon? lol

I want those 7 seconds of my life back. That video was even more pointless than your dyno video.
You can't hear anything and all it does is show an RX-8 speeding.

A Geo Prizm can speed.

I used to think you guys at SSR were just overly ambitious, now I think you are just stupid.

Damn Jeff... you are seriously busting these guys *****...

I caught a snippet of engine reving and the BOV when shifting. But it WAS too short, couldn't REALLY hear much and considering that this site is very sensitive about road racing... that was not the best location for the shoot.

However... nice to see SSR putting up some more vids and hopefully full dynos... As RG said... like 'em or not, at least we have more options... that's not a bad thing.

What serious performance tuning shop would actually post, on a public forum, a video of one of their cars street racing itself?
In the middle of the day.
With pedestrians.

LMAO... nice emoticon. :D

... and yeah... that video was... bad. You wouldn't see RB, Petite, or even GReddy or HKS posting a video like that. The ones Magnaflow has on their site of their cat-backs on various cars reving and doing drive-bys looks "off-road" and definitely has no pedestrians in the video.

It was an IMMEDIATE response to the lack of footage, would you see an IMMEDIATE response from RB, Petite, Greddy, HKS, Blitz and so forth? no way

You guys wanted the footage, it's there for those that want to see it. Obviously the ones that have no intentions of even purchasing a turbo kit are just nit picking (maybe because you have nothing better to do?).
