Video: wife driving 911 Turbo, squirrel dies.

Check out my latest vid...watch to the bitter end to see what happened to the squirrel. Yes, animals were harmed during the filming of this video.

This is a friend's 2010 911 Turbo, heavily tuned to 700 HP.

Enjoy.

Just had dinner with the owner tonight and he mentioned he has the full system from Evolution Motorsports (EVT720) which indeed is tuned for the PDK/tiptronic transmission.

No, it's not stock, it's a Europipe (sorry, didn't catch the exact model).

Owner also races his GT2 car. You can watch him here:

Great camera, there wasn't much wind noise, how did you get over the wind noise like this even with the cam being mounted outside?

GoPro HD Motosports Hero.

That's what I use. The camera itself has noise/wind reduction software built in. Also using the waterproof casing is suppose to eliminate all wind noise too.

Actually, it was a Flip mounted on the outside driver's side.

The GoPros are great but not that great - there would have been considerable windnoise during much of that video (from that angle) if that's all I had done.

I have a few editing tricks I've taught myself to synch up the audio from a "windless" camera (or remote audio mic) and lay it down on top of the video from one that sounds like a hurricane. Not exactly as easy but worth the extra effort.

Hey, I'm just glad someone noticed the lack of noise! Pretty proud of that.

Check out my website if you want to see more cool stuff. urgetodriveDOTcom. Enjoy.

I'll get my friend to give me all the details (or better yet, to get on here and speak for himself).

It is the 650 (for the 997.2 turbo) but with their intercoolers and tuned for additional boost (about 700 hp). There are only a few cars running this package and it is not officially for sale yet.
