This sort of conveys the idea...imagine a little less treble and some pops and bangs...

PS. Yes it really does scream at high revs!

I can vouch for that- especially in tunnels...

Hi Andrew, i know a little about acoustics and recording, Can you control the gain level on the microphone ? if so turn it down because its distorting, Also I would look at the frequency range of the mic itself, it sounds like its struggling to record low frequences hence why it all sounds so high pitched.
You have done well to keep most wind noise out but a foam windshield may help further.

If you are really into making quality recordings try researching into Cardioid, Hyper cardioid and Super cardioid micrphones they are different types of capsules microphones have which pick up noise in different directions, its quite relevant when trying to pick up exhaust notes :

Cardioid microphone: a microphone with a directional pickup pattern that is most sensitive to sounds coming from the front and sides while rejecting sounds coming from the rear. The pickup pattern is roughly heart-shaped when viewed from above, hence the name "cardioid."

Hypercardioid: a variation of the cardioid microphone pickup pattern. A hypercardioid microphone is most sensitive at the front and sides, while rejecting sounds entering 120° to the rear.

Supercardioid microphone: a variation of the cardioid microphone that is most sensitive at the front while rejecting sounds entering 150° to the rear.
