Noisy bugger in the Dartford Tunnel

[Jules360]

Saw a 360 CS, followed by a 355 and 360 Spyder this afternoon... well i say "saw".. i heard them when they were about half a mile behind me accelerating form 10 to about 50 repeatedly. The CS had CS04 *AZ ... i seem to recall having seen it on these pages ? Anyone owning up ?

That will be Adam on Fchat returning from a week in Europe.

They sounded great .. was desperate to join in, but typically was in the wife's diesel RR Sport........ why are you never in the right car ?

Ha!!! Infamy at last. After miles and miles of tunnels last week that was the last one, so we thought we would do it in style

The de-cat 355 sounds epic doesnt it???

[Jules360]

They all sounded good... followed you guys until the Brentwood turnoff, despite protests from the wife that you would wake the baby up (you did!). Found myself questioning my decision in buying the Gallardo .....

Its not the noise.. it's just that i spent literally months unable to decide which to buy, so whichever i own, the grass will always seem greener ... and the wife will never buy the idea that we need both !

no amount of tuning/decatting or anything else will EVER make a Lambo sound like a Strad. Fact

Ask Al See......

[Jules360]

It is also very difficult to get a Lambo to sound like a big exhausted Corsa ... what's your point ?

sorry...what I should had said was no amount of work on a Lambo will ever make it sound AS GOOD as a Strad, not LIKE one

Just for you...

Hazy,

Here is what a proper car sounds like in a tunnel - an 06 model Gallardo Spyder. I'm told there are some Ferraris in this clip but couldn't hear them myself

Mmmm, all I can hear are Ferraris.

Why the obsession with noise on this forum ? Most discussion is about tubis, decatting, etc ... Whatabout handling, balance, steering feel and all the other stuff that is IMO far more important? I get the feeling that this forum would rate Brian Blessed a better actor than de Niro

Cos you can't show off your handling and balance on the roads through town...

• Edit* After reading this I realised I might look a tt who only just likes attention. I am in fact, the opposite of this.

I agree. The finest car on the planet has poise, balance, steering feel in spades, awesome brakes and the greatest automotive soundtrack ever, no de-cat or tubi needed at all.

The Ferrari Challenge Stradale. Fact.

You *might* have a point there...
