But I'm warning you that these files are huge at what I consider "bad quality" There are 3 files in all for the 3 sections of trip we made. The first file is 2.8 gig and is 45 min. I estimate all three to be close to 5-6 gigs. If I'd converted them into the format I like it would've been closer to 15 gigs for all three :P which is funny considering the "raw" files are only about 10 gigs in all. If you dont want to put that much on an FTP let me know and I will try to host it on the Texas8 Site

Yeah well I also heard the Camaro sucks bawls at handling... lol makes the 8 unique... poor cars these days look like they can handle, plus the big popular name and look makes almost EVERYONE believe it as well... in the end its just a 426 HP car with 3800 pounds of fat... <<< lol

He wasn't even there!And P.S. the tex8 site has a host with unlimited space and bandwidth, so I could have just put it there.

Yes...you are correct that the 8 will handle much better than the Camaro. I tested this on Saturday. But from a standstill, or just about anywhere, the Camaro will outrun the 8. They are two completely different types of cars built for two completely different kinds of driving.
Obviously, you enjoy the twisting and turning driving that the 8 is designed for, so you think the 8 is better. That's fine. But if you were a fan of horsepower, which many people are, then the Camaro is the car for you.
But I must say, for as big as the car was, it handled much better than I thought. While I was in the back of the pack all day, never once could I not keep up with the 8's. Yes, you have to slow down more in the turns and accelerate harder out of them, but the car handled quite well. I think with more than 2 hrs of driving it, I could have pushed it alot harder. I just wasn't used to driving a car that big. I do think the Camaro will out handle it's competition (Mustang, Challenger)...so in that respect, it handles quite well.

It's a muscle car...not a sports car. Completely different!

This might be my ego talking, but as a side note does anyone want me to post the raw track footage from the Apex course? Or the 20 min draft I made of us going from Ft Worth to Kerrville?

har har, the bugs didnt actually show up on film because the camera stopped recording before it got hit! so there.... (which reminds me, I've been thinking about looking into either A. getting the water proof box so I can put it on the roof of the car (to protect the camera) or B. Get a custom made Plexiglas glass shield for it that I can mount to the mount itself.
