Car-spotting thread

Hm. This is something I'm not good at.

record video, record telemetry, give to kid to combine.
wait, maybe not a great idea..."Did you really hit 140?"


http://racerender.com/TrackAddict/Features.html - load on phone, it controls the camera, and reads the OBD dongle (they have a list of compatible ones)
it does most of the work. it will use the camera on the phone or the gopro or both (ie, use phone to record the smile you get when accelerating.)
combine gopro vid later. I'm going to play with it. will let you know.

This sounds like work.
 
The dongle I have doesn't work in the Camaro. @GSTim , want a bluetooth OBD for the kid's GTI? I have the Pro Version of OBeleven.
Will take, Thanks!
P.S. We were discussing the exhaust noise and I looked it up. On the Vette even in Track mode the exhaust closes at certain speeds to meet federal noise limits. Need to pull the fuse to get full off all the time. Or get one of these:
They make them for the Camaro also. Did you pull the fuse on yours?

Really? Mine only close in 6th gear - which gets used once in a blue moon. Does your vette have resonators? If so, hack em out
 
I'm driving mine to work every day. Even in Track mode the drone on the highway is a bit annoying, Sport mode is the sweet spot, but I would notice that it would quiet down at certain times. Now I know why.

I pulled the fuse in the Camaro. Took like 10 minutes. Probably more complicated in the Vette though.

I did feel slightly bad driving through Milford and Port Jervis at 7am with straight pipes though. NOT!!

I dont dislike it...its just a strange look for a mid to later 60s car....by 66, drag slicks were a thing...not good by todays standards, but they worked...Thus you didnt need to jack the car up into outer space to make it hook up anymore. Usually this is something you see on a mid to late 50s car

Yeah, this one caught my eye as well.

As someone who grew up in the 70's reading old issues of Rod & Custom and Hot Rod, I've always had a thing for jacked-up gassers. Love the ladder bars and fender-well headers.

Yeah I am not sure if I like it or not or I just like it because it’s different. I grew up loving the muscle car stuff but this is like a cross between a gasser and a lifted wagon.

something different is Totally cool tho even if it’s not for me it’s stillgot that hot rod 70s vibe.
