Virgin drive before winter

[fact5racer]

Still haven't put my GTM back on the lift to do the total nut and bolt check since finishing it so I had to be careful but I couldn't pass up on a 60 degree day here in New Hampshire. Car is a damn rocket and why anyone would feel the need for more than what this stock LS2 produces is kidding themselves. I don't know if it's the 2812 Konis, or the sway bar but man it feels like a daytona prototype going down the road. Here's the vid on Youtube:

Nice video Gary! I agree with you; that car is quick!!! That must have felt pretty good to be able to take it out for a quick run around the neighborhood. It sure looked good, and you sure got some attention. I notice a couple of cars almost coming to complete stops to look at it. I also noticed that you waited until there were no cars or people in sight, before you crawled out... :) Now I don't feel so bad about how I get in and out.

Seriously though, Great video! And I'm glad you're having fun with it.

The door's open to you guys any time you want to head down to Charlotte.

Take care.

I agree, some of the best footage out there!

Awesome footage Gary. Hopefully you have an in with the local police force. I'd give it oh maybe a day or two till folks start reporting some crazy guy driving a race car around the streets of new Hampshire . I'm looking forward to the spring when we all can do a few track days and air out our cars.

I'm worried about the same thing. Need to finish it up so I can get a sticker on it this spring.

Too sweet!!!

Gary,
Can I borrow the camera? :cool:

[fact5racer]

Just a regular GoPro. You can buy it for $125.00 from me if you want it.

Hows the gearbox feel?

[fact5racer]

great! If you turn up the volume, should it be making that whinning sound? How do I check fluid level?

[Mendeola Transaxles]

Yes, its fine.
That's gear noise from the course pitch race gearing.
It should have 4 quarts of 80/90w synthetic gear oil.
Did any oil come out the breather?
Did FFR give it to you with oil?
I sent all that originally.
If you want to check it drain it, and measure the oil.That's the only way.

[fact5racer]

None came out when I took it out of FFR's car so it should be fine.

This is a good deal if you're interested in one of these awesome cameras. I recently bought a slightly used one with attachments for $180.00.

The new ones (with attachments) are 300.00+ for the Motorsports version.

AWSOME RIDE:cool: Looks like a cool test track! May have to check it out. Well, when the roadster is finished:) That baby needs a romp thru the Kangamangus pass!!!

Would love to see a video of a GTM going through the Kangamangus pass on a closed road. Fact5racer, great video.
