haha I've been dying to do that since I finished my car but it never ran right to go WOT. I'll still have a chance to do it on Sunday nights when I drop my sister off in the City for college.

Next time you need video!

Definitely get it on video.

Here's me going through the PA turnpike tunnel when I only had 380 hp through the cutout. The camera car was going 55 mph

I need to do it again now that I have 445+ hp and the TSP duals 8)

I don't think anything will beat the night that we were coming home from Atco and we had foff667's 98 z28, Randy99's '93 T/A, and Evil90SS's '90 454 SS pickup all at WOT through the Rt 29 "tunnel" at the same time.

My ears were in pain, but I'd love to be in the middle of that again....

Yeah, that is like a couple overpasses stacked next to each other. When I used to go up that way in my Trans Am, I used to nail the throttle going in and then let off half way through to hear it ‘gurgle’. I loved it. A real tunnel could only be cooler.
