I recorded a sound file of my V8S racing through the gears to 100mph from standstill. Its not brilliant quality but its nice on the ears, so turn up your speakers and enjoy......! It shows 0-60/80/100mph to be around 5sec, 9sec & 13sec so inline with what the figures are supposed to be.

Go to the link below and click on the sound file link and wait for it to load!

Nice one Mike! Sounds great.

Haven't driven mine for a couple of days, so I'm just going to have to keep playing that all day at work, just to remind me of that wondeful noise!

How's the rest modifications on the car going? Would love to see some photos (especially the custom made shiny bits) when it's done.

Thanks, yes the noise is addictive.......! As for the other modifications, I didnt like the Cerb seats I bought as they dont hold you as good as the Griff ones, which was a little dissapointing! So I bought some newer style Griff Seats and they are at the trimmers now getting re-trimmed. When they are done I will take the car down to have the rest of the interior done in Magnolia, photos will hopefully be soon, as I want it done before the the TV show which is being filmed the 19th March. The shiny bits are getting made now and I should have the gear knob, Handbrake & Stalks next week I am told and the dials hopefully before the 19th. The Carbon Fibre dash will have to wait until April as I wont have time to do everything in March! Its coming on nicely though and once done I will post pics!

Glad you enjoyed the sound file!

Sounds very nice , I do like the sound of V8S in the morning myself .
Don't know if you've seen it yet but here's a link to your car at last Mays Sprint at goodwood Your car puts an appearance in at at least three places. As this was pre your sports exhaust fitting, I think I can safely say at the time I think Adrian D's balck V8S sounded nicer. BTW The green V8S in it is a 5ltr monster .
I also have some low res digi still's from the pits area if you want them.

Not a sports exhaust but here's a 1 minute video clip of mine on a balmy summers day here oh for a warm day with the roof off.

If you are really bored and are missing summer roof off driving heres a 20 minute one, taken of the meon valley 32/272 roads, but you'll really need broadband its 35Mb
