Buzzing the Tunnel

[Panteracer]

A couple of my Pantera buddies and I went for
a drive over the hill and up the coast in Norcal on Sunday...
what a beautiful day. We came up on the new
tunnel... approx 500 yards long...they built just south of Pacifica (Devils Slide)
After entering the tunnel I slowed up for a little space
and dropped two gears and dropped the Hammer... the
180 headers filled the tunnel with an almost F1 sound
My poor buddies behind me could not even hear their
almost 600 hp Panteras... the SUV in front of me hit the
brakes for a minute as I think he thought the tunnel was
caving in.

I need to go back when there is no one around and
shoot thru it at 7000 rpm and grab a few gears

Life is good in Norcal:mock:

Where's the video!!! :rules: :warning:

[Panteracer]

No video. I was thinking the same thing
Not sure the sound would work. We had
A gopro on the wing with straight pipes
at the track in Arizona and it sounds distorted
Camera's doesn't like it too loud

Might try mounting the camera without the case using their frame mount inside the car with the windows down. That may defeat the mic's noise canceling. Or use a remote mic. Or have a chase car shoot video.

It's no secret that GoPro's audio is lacking in motorsport applications. I noticed at the last few AMA MX races the sponsored riders were not using the camera's waterproof housing when helmet mounted. I'm guessing to improve audio capture by eliminating resonance generated by the waterproof case.

Or.........hire this guy to capture it for you.

haaa haaa we used to do that through the Broadway and Caldecot too....My Chevelle had home made manual cutouts. With 4 drag cars going through at the same time makes it crazy loud. Its a blast aint it?

We went through a few months ago. They did a nice job, the entrance reminds me of a scene from Ridley Scott's "Alien".

[Panteracer]

I don't think I want a video car behind...
then they will know who I am.. I can't imagine
4 drag cars running thru with cuttouts.. way cool stuff

I just got an email from one of my buddies that has found
a set of 180's for a 351w Pantera.... they were only made for
a short while.. Now I can help my other buddy spend money
Sounds like that is something that happens on this Forum all the time:)

Speaking of spending money looks like my lexan rear window showed
up for the Firebird.. Christmas present from my wife

Now I know where those tire marks came from! Be careful they do have cameras, but not sure if anyone's been busted..They haven't got me yet. :goggles:

A video, no matter how cool, might lead to issues with the local 5-0. However, some audio would be killer......

[glassman]

I can just see that suburban hitting the brakes with the "holy ......" look on their face, that made me laugh out loud (lol literally)

But, yeah, what are friends for :G-Dub:

About 6 or 7 E30 M3's went through the Lincoln tunnel in NY many years ago, they went through close to 140MPH at over 7K rpms,

sounded like a bunch of angry hornets, there was video long ago, wish I was there to see or here it and see this tunnel in CA,

[Panteracer]

Ok since we have cameras I think it would be best
not to do the F1 run I was thinking about with no one around

Just for the record.. I only slowed a little and dropped 2 gears
and buzzed the motor going over the speed limit only slightly
The car can sounds like it is going 100 and only cruising
I have many looking up as I am approaching down the road
thinking I am going very fast when in fact it is only the motor
buzzing at a high RPM

My other Pantera buddy finally found a set of 180's for his
windsor 408 so there will be two in my neighborhood now
