Being inspired by JonRB, I thought I'd go out and have a crack at seeing if I could get some video of the Sagaris being noisy.

Here are the results...

Attempt 1

Attempt 2

Attempt 3

So, apart from setting a decent focal length, maybe having a bit more light in the sky (or some king of lighting), a quiet space with no road noise or neighbours... Making videos of cars is actually quite difficult!
Before anyone wades in , the car was very nice and warm from a lovely drive, the revs didn't go above 5k and no-one was harmed in the making of this very low-quality production... smile

I have to say that at 3k rpm under normal engine load and maps, when I'm 'engine braking' (or just letting it rev down), there are some nice rumbles and grumbles from the exhaust.

The cyclists map (as I've called it) just turns it up to 11 - it gets used infrequently and the videos were probably the most times I've turned it on in one day! I just view it as a pleasing option to have. Syvecs do say not to use it 'all the time' or the like - quite understandable as it just ramps up the fuelling.
