OK Sam let's see if these 1998 shootout videos work

Very cool ! Anyone know of where these original videos are? They can easily be converted from 8mm or mini dv players etc to file ona usb drive. Would be really cool to see these videos in better quality and sound. a recording of a tv just cant do it any justice.

That ZR-1 sounds just EVIL!! Any idea what this Lingenfelter ZR-1 exhaust setup would of been? And to hear Mario talking about how it felt more stable and planted than the C5, just makes me smile! Just proves how legendary our cars truly are....

I have 2 copies, but they are in some weird format that I was never able to get into a modern sharable format? 1998 Costco CDs

Mario also said the $1.5 mil F1 wandered badly and he used the whole track!

wide open exhaust on that yellow car. it had the same exhaust that the red lingenfelter has where the pipes exit the middle of the car. max sound for max performance.

ANy chance they could be burned or copied? I could cover shipping and be happy to try to get these converted or copied somehow.

Mario looked like he was either on quaaludes. Or just didn't want to be there.

was this run at the fort stockton track?? it looks so flat and desolate, it just has that look.

I let Mark Horner have one for a bit, at one of the gatherings; I'll check to see if he got it converted.

And this CLASSIC video, "DEAD MEAT". Poor Impala. The Vette gets BIG rubber shifting into 3rd and scuffs the tires into 4th. 10.60 @ 134.34mph
