Dare we admit that the noise a vehicle makes is ooohh so important to us ?
Bringing out the true 'boy' racer in us all - as alluded to in your chidhood memories of the Alfasud.....Yes I am old enough to remember that sound when they were new too !
Owning up to my 54th birthday yesterday, another 'confession' at the alter of PH.
My 993 C4S, courtesy of the two previous owners (thank you both) has:
1/ The Porsche induction air fiter (more holes in the airbox).
2/ RSR Exhaust modification (Opening up original silencers & removing a certain amount of sound absortion materials).
Result = One very gutteral, slightly louder but more meaningful sounding flat six (read brutal).....that will eat the pants off any later 911 variant with 'sports exhaust valve flap' standing still - let alone on the move !
Ha ha - ooops! ........'Boy' Racer moment......too old, too old ;-) :-)))
Regards and turn up the hearing aids.
PS. Must own up to the shock that when the car starts up parked near to another vehicle, the pressure waves set off that vehicles alarm - plus if you go down an urban street of parked vehicles there is a trail of alarms.....naughty German thing, good job there's no Chip Shops nearby (Stan Boardman joke).
