Awesome video designo.

I was curious to know what that rattling noise was just before the 1st two gear changes but came to the conclusion it may have been the camera mount since I saw it shaking...

That's correct sir, the S6 shifts are very very violent.

What was your time on the second run? And, next time you HAVE to use LC. I could understand you not using it if you had a US Spec car like some of us. But you've got the full (real) LC. With your mods and "euro" LC, I definitely see the possibilities of 11s. Go again and report back to us please

Merci

PS- I did some runs in my car a few months back and while using the US Spec LC, the best I could get was a 12.8, without using the LC, on my last run, I got it down to 12.6. I'm sure I could've done even better too...
