Damn you had to prove something hugh. In the rain in trafic. I've done a lot of dumb **** to prove a point, but thats just plain dangerous. Glad your happy now. And safe. It would have sucked to see you smack one of those other cars.
Im not bashing you, just suggesting next time wait till its dry, or less trafic. Sounds like you let off at 122???
BTW what gears do you have, and what size tires? I'm runnin 32's with 3.73's and turning about 5250-5300 rpm in third easy. Nice vid though. Hope someone else was recording

wow....in the rain going 122 in traffic, while recording the speedo, road and laptop. someone should definately slap you j/k, but for real, an open road and dry streets woulda been worth the wait. whats the service engine soon light for? nice brakes by the way.

now someone prove this guy wrong

Damm... what you just did was just plain dumb. I am still glad you are safe though. However, I agree with White1, looks like you let off. There is not reason for the RPM to just like they did in the vid.
