Stopped a set of lights and while waiting, turning at intersection onto same rd was Ferrari 360 Modena, wasnt doing anything excessive, but as he went through motions, I heard something that made me look around due to the moment of confusion...thought I heard Blow-Off Valves ut subtle and quiet.Lights changed, being front row I pressed on, wanting to take a look at the 360, the feeling of 'something not quite right' I began to feel. Both travelling at 70kph, on his left his window down; ME: (yelling) 'WHY NO QUAD TIPPED EXHAUSTS BUT ONLY TWO? on a 360?' 360: (yelling) 'JUST PICKED IT UP FROM AVO!!!!!!'ME: (yelling with anxious tone) AND???????????360: (moment of silence had he spoke in normal tone) Its got 2 turbos...Then he nailed it Meallic ear piercing shriek and turbo wind up, wastegates and a not to loud, WRX being driven in a ramraid style BOV!!!Havent heard anything like it since.Long story to tell about a vehicle noise, but without it there could have been no comprehension of the sound it made, people were letting go of the steering wheel to cover their ears!!! Needless to say, I didn't really bother, but the way that thing pulled and lept away whilst already doing 70-75kph, ENZO Beater, GT2 Porsche eater, Lamborghinni Murch...etc etc.Darren
26/10/05 04:06 AM26/10/05 04:06 AM #8 AMG SL65 Twin Turbo V12 at low middling revs. Sounded like a BF-109 lining up for a strafing run!However. best I have ever heard was a new Maserati V8 Cabriolet giving it full boot up the big yamba hill in first gear! Absolutely orgasmic!Lumpy
