Life at 185 'Cuda video

I have posted a 8 min in car video of my run at this years Nevada Open Road Challenge. The vast majority of which is 185mph.
If the link doesnt work search "life at 185" at youtube. Enjoy.

Wow!
 :eek2:

Really impressive!     :burnout:

The cross on the rear view is a nice touch...  looks like it came in handy.  Did it get a little squirly a few times?

That was AWESOME! I love that kind of racing. I bet it was a real thrill, too. Will you be improving the aerodynamics any more? Looking for that 200mph slip? Just too cool for words.

360FISH. The Cross.. At that speed I need all the support I can get!! esp for the unknowns. Squirly? This was one of the most stable runs Ive had. The car actually gets more stable the faster I go. I dont "fight" the road, I tend to let the car settle where it wants to in the troughs and peaks of the road but that new asphalt is a dream.
Bullitt. Yes thats us.
SuperCuda. Thanks, me too! There really arent words to describe it, except more more more!!esp in a car you built yourself from a rolling chassis. I will be looking into fiberglass fenders and bring the peak back to the header panel and hood line to get a shallower angle next year. There is definatly room for improvement in the nose. Yes 200 is the goal. Unfortunatly there was a 30 mph head wind at the Silver State in Sept so I wasnt able to get a reading on the cnc porting on the heads, intake, and new cam but a chassis dyno got me more 43 HP and TQ at 5250. What that translates to in top end remains to be seen.
