I came upon this when Googling for Vitesse sound clips. Awesome!

Wow! Awesome indeed!

Thanks for posting, that sounded great and went rather well.

In about '88 a mate of mine had a Vitesse convertible with a Triumph Tune exhaust which sounded superb although not in the league of that racer obvs.

Was expecting a V8!

That sounds great - wonder what it was revving to?

Must be disheartening to be racing a classic Porsche when a Triumph Herald hurtles past. Several other fine scalps were collected.

Ah yes the famous and highly developed vitesse nicknamed "candy box" the product of a certain mr Kas Kastner, the go to man in North America if you wanted to tune your british leyland product.

Any excuse to add this, the group 44 GT6 mk2 only running twin stromberg's but by the sound of it must have a rather wild cam, not to mention side exit exhaust

Looking through the spec he's dumped rack and pinion steering, I wonder why.
