That was as boring as 500whp can be.

The lack of interaction between the 2 guys made it awkward, and the thing didn't even spin 2nd. No fun.

The build video is very nicely done though!

LOL honestly, I'm not going to sit here and pretend this was an amazing video. It's just content. When I decided to throw the gopro camera in the car to get a reaction it made them both uncomfortable being on camera I guess.

Haha we should make it a mission to take the guy for another ride and make him start grabbing his seat belt and the roof in fear.

This video wasn't intended for any sole purpose other then he just took the guy for a ride in the car bc he asked and I decided to put a camera on the windshield hoping for something funny. Oh well. It is what it is

Nice work guys. LOve the red and gold combo. Great build Video.

Put the camera in the rear on the inside glass that way its "out of view, out of mind" for both driver and passenger.

The passenger will quickly forget its there and you will get more natural reactions....but what do I know.

I wanted to "try" and capture any kind of funny facial expression. Mounting where you say would not allow me to get that view.
