Just wanted to share this movie with you guys. Can't get enough of this sound. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEgmc_DdDWM&feature=player_embedded[/ame] Clem
Notice how every once in awhile, the camera guy "giggles".... Trust that when you are fortunate enough to drive one--through tunnels, on the freeway, and especially on twisty, hilly roads, those giggles turn into long periods of absolute, unmitigated glee!! And, when you truly "put your boot into it", these beasts immediately awaken with a sound better than anything I've personnally experienced on the streets. Best of all, you can "hit it" over and over again like a never ending morphine drip--ka-bam...feels fantastic every time! My advice, if you get the chance..."just do it!"
It's like Ferrari V8 from the lightweight models (CS and Scuderia), but 100x meatier and more powerful roar. If I had the means, I would buy this car just for the noise!
Holy Cow!!!! I jumped out of my desk chair in excitement on the first tunnel run. The amazing thing besides the sound is how damn fast the car takes off. Its absolutely awesome to see real world acceleration.
The GTO has to have the best sounding OEM exhaust Ferrari has produced, followed by the F50 and maybe 355 among late street cars. That is just awesome. I had a Daytona with major portions of the muffling system missing, and the GTO still sounds better. Taz Terry Phillips
Am hoping later in the year to take a GTO to a fairly long tunnel....about 10 kms in distance, based on this video its going to be an incredible experience...
Watch videos like this and realize that as long as there is another barrel of oil somewhere in the ground to pump out and refine as gasoline, electric cars will never replace an IC engine for toys.
My GOD, That music is beyond words!!! GTO sounds beautiful in the open too. You GTO owners are a very lucky bunch..but I guess you know that already..
