Re: Electric Goped Smokes a Camaro!

[David Dymaxion <david_dymaxion@yahoo.com>]

Whoops, one mistake, that's a Firebird and not a Camaro. I think it
is rigged, because you don't see the car drop and lift its nose on
the shifts. I suspect the car just drove gently and they added sound
from a real race. Fun to watch in any case!

So where did I find it? <Hangs head in shame> I've been slumming on
the "kill stories" message boards for Camaros (like
http://www.camaroz28.com and http://www.ls1.com). Men, er, boys
(women would be too smart for this) street race and post messages and
videos of their exploits. 

Hmmmm, this gives me a good idea, maybe I should post the video from
NEDRA Las Vegas of Otmar's 914 destroying that red Honda on
http://www.honda-tech.com.
