I bet that's a comfy ride through the Nasho Peter! Still got any fillings in your teeth ?

Cheers,
Jason.

Peter,

Nice pic. Nice car. But - do you need the windows down to hear the noise that it makes, or does the engine roar permeate the cockpit?

The exhaust note is quite benign at anything under 3000rpm. Could be a Prius.... well maybe still no

By 5,000 rpm the headers have well and truly opened up and by 7000 it really doesn't matter if the windows are up or down. The sound is similar to a F1 note.

The ECU's limit the rpm's to 7500 but you do get the occasional crackle backing off from there.

The best part about root canal is after the 1st session when the nerves are drilled out and you don't need the needle for the next 50,000 sessions!!

Good luck!!
