I just watched again with headphones on. The sound quality isn't perfect, but you can hear the engine much better. It sounds awesome comming out of those turns

I wish... That's the reverse mohawk.

Someone get me a brown paper bag! I am hyperventilating!!!!

Not everyone wants a vehicle with rock hard suspension. So the leaning seen in this video doens't really bother me. I am sure you will be able to get a suspension setup any way you want.

Gosh, I can't wait for this car to hit the street!!

nice

I watched the video. But I'm at work and can't turn the volume on and disturb people around me. So I'll watch it when I get home and listen for the sounds. I wasn't all that impressed with the sound of the car in the last Nurburgring video, as it seemed like the tire noise drowned out the exhaust note on that one. Does this video give more up close sound of the V8 burble?

wow i am speechless after watching that great video

Very cool... the sound is awesome and the performance looks great...

Thanks for the video, it sounds nice but I'm sure different engines will sound different. Hopefully it will be everything we thought it would be.

Can you clarify what you mean by this? I'm not sure people who don't care about something are the best judges. Or so you mean that the interiors are so good that they turn interior apathetic people into interior affectionados.

the seating position and view out are so amazing.... you are really down inside the car looking out thru tiny slits.

It can't be any worse than my H3 can it?

Oh and we finally saw the finished lights on it too and they look excellent.

All the lights, or just the headlights?

thanks for posting this, tran.

i'm having an extremely hard time pinning down that engine sound. is it even possible that this is a V6?

Just because its fitted with Brembos, I dont think that guarantees it's a V8 also.

I dunno, it just seems that the gears sound tall, and the engine doesnt sound very rev-happy, and the acceleration didn't scream 400HP. To me this equals V6.

Visual performance cues suggest 300HP to me. Yes, I know it barked and jumped during that early part of the video, but the same-gear acceleration....like I said, I just dunno.

Either way, just couldn't hear it enough in the higher-rpm sections to figure it out.

Dude, that thing was a rocket! I'm not trying to bash you but there was no doubt in my mind that was a V8. The low grumble and not too high revving you are right about but I prefer it over that screaming exotic sound of the other cars in the video. With my speakers it sounded amazing.

Like someone else said, Pure sex on wheels!!!

*TAG UR IT* · 04-22-2008, 12:30 PM

Thanks for the heads up camero.

One question, if I may. The taller folks...are you saying the interior designers took this into account when building the seats (kina like your comment, you are really sitting down low, etc.)? Again, I'm 6'3" and want to make sure my knees won't be on the dashboard!
