The 4500 figure is the figure that would be used for a track day - so most people above don't stand much of a chance.

Also - I was nearly deafened by Combine at 4500 .. and nearly got roasted alive by the flames from Campbell.

Yellow wedge had a few goes at getting the max noise but failed..

So - as you can see ..

Everyone's a winner

Interesting !!! Went to the Asda day charity thing at Bruntingthorpe today along with a few other tiv's including a curvy red one , 4.3 which does 137db's , how do we get there I wonder , back to the drawing board ?

Was they mesured at the same distance, as Yellow wedge is very loud, and has a 4.6 with stright though pipes.

Thanks Rev, didn't expect 122 out of my 350! (oldest wedge at the Fest too!)
Yellow Wedge sounded awesome, thought he had it in the Bag!

P.S Love the Gulf colours, looks fabulous.

Had been warned several months ago about yellow wedge sound !!!!!! He went to a piston heads meet and news travels, or is that sound travels ! ?

I also got 100dBA from the front - thanks to the Supercharger!

[combine]

Adam , missed that ride in your supercharger , where were you , i had to get back so left at 12 ish

[adam quantrill]

Yeah I looked for you but obviously the met office were right this time and you had to get back to combine something or other before it pissed down!

We only left at 10:30 and arrived a little after 12:30, after stopping to check on a fellow wedger who had pulled over on the Fosse Way.

I'm afraid Wyn had your ride out! He didn't even leave any stains on the seat, he has some bottle! Maybe next year eh?

Yes - all measured the same.

1/2 metre and 45 degrees to the exhaust.

FFFFFEEEEEEKKKKKKK..........the ride out with you Adam has almost had a life changing effect on me. The experience was absolutely and totally special. I now have a mission planned to create a very special 400 with a serp engine and a 450 one of these; http://www.sc-power.co.uk/

3-4 years I rec'n

Anyone want to buy a 450i with 315 ft/lbs ot tourque??????...Seriously

[combine]

Adam , it has to be much sooner than that , seriously .I will have to get to Camb's with my new toy which is arriving tomorrow . Wyn , don't sell that 450 , its easier / cheaper to modify the exhaust system and tweak the J.E lump youv'e got already , that is one hell of a car ! Loved that trip out in her !
