Sorry but my Mivec with Apexi N1 and HKS filter doesnt even come close to this.

I so want one! Brutal power delivery too. If it wasnt for this car, then the cossies / evos and scoobys etc probably wouldnt exist. I remember being a passenger in the road - going sport version (short wheel base) a few years back and I have never been so terrified. The acceleration was awesome, and the handling for its day incredible. |

| Ah yes the super and turbocharged Delta S4, and the great 205 T16 of which I've also got a massive soft spot. Dont think you can beat the sound of that turbo'd 20v 5 pot though - just something about it which makes my hair stand on end every time I hear one. One of the most brutal sounding exhaust notes ever. |

That does sound lovely, but still prefer the sound of the Audi to be honest. Never been a massive fan of V8s. They do sound nice but I just love the sound of highly tuned, heavily boosted motors. Love the sound of tuned Supras too. PS I'd love to hear what your fto sounds like boosted (low boost I know).

I do like the sound of a good Wankel! Guess that must be a 3 or 4 rotor? |

The size of that tubby Can anybody say "Lag" (not that it matters that much on a big V8 anyhow)  |

Any engine that makes your insides vibrate is good in my book!  _________________

So true... On my list of 'Cars to own before I die' is 'anything with a V8' . I keep looking at Monaros...
