That is fast. Too bad they don't show the outside of the car view. The way it went through the gears and then decellerated looks more like a dyno run than a 3 mile air strip ride, to me. I'd love to be proven wrong on this one, though. It is most impressive if it is real.

It seems like a dyno run to me. Minimal wind noise, no road noise, no expansion joints, not one bump or oscillation in the camera.

just me two cents. Where did I put my flame suit?

You'll need to disable Norton Internet Security for it to run. Click on the quicktime version, you'll see a brief commercial for the Honda Fit, then the video.

The windows media version only shows the Honda Ridgeline commercial, a glitch on their end.

This vid is supported by the article in the June Issue, but also listen to the wind noise in the vid and you'll realise this is not a dyno run.

Also, check here and you can see other vids on the NAS runs.

again, select the quicktime version

Cool! I like the reflection of the MM on the side. Also, those black wheels look good.

Love to drive the SSR on a nice day with the top down.

It's preferable in Quicktime, as WMP is currently the only media format that can be embedded with a virus.
Plus, the reason that the National Association of Broadcasters just chose QT over WMP, is that it provides higher quality at lower bandwidths :P

I have personally driven a 2005 z06 vette on a short 3\4 mile track, the car is quiet in the cabin like the video, and the brakes... they almost make u fly out the windshield (six piston calipers).

Opps, I guess I used the wrong smilie. Should have be :eek:. That vette is smoother and quieter than my Marauder. I guess I need to get the Marauder out on some airport runways!

All those cars rock!
