That's one way to describe the noise a LM Corvette makes at full-tilt...

They still sound like a Prius compared to the noise the Panoz used to make

Yup, the GT1 Panoz was awesome, especially with the origianl Panoz engine in around 1998. I think later ones used a different engine that never sounded quite so good to my ears...

Probably was because I was 18 the first time I went and they seemed so unatainable, but was amazing to see the sheer amount of Astons, TVRs, Porsche, Ferrari in the Houx campsite! Is worth an hour or so strolling around before or after the race.

When we were camping in Beasejour, you could tell where the Panoz was on the lap just by listening. She sounded sweet!
