Saw this on my Youtube notifications.

More in depth than others out there.

Thank you.

Phew!
Hope there won't be a test, after listening to all that information.

Wonderful details and manufacturing quality, but I suppose for the price, that probably would be expected.

Looking forward to seeing a film of a track/owner training day, where some of the Vulcans will be together on a circuit.

Thanks for posting. WoW yes the exhaust noise wasn't exactly what I was expecting but it does look wonderful.

I'm with you Jon - wouldn't fancy sitting a test on it laugh

Expected it to sound better. Having exhausts on either side probably mutes that great V12 sound we are accustomed to.

If I could afford one, I'd have a 1-77 in the same color and then add a VIN plate to the Vulcan with the same number. The coppers would never know the difference on the street between the two...

Exhaust sound.
Having experimented with sound recording of my own Vantage, I found that the results can vary considerably. Try this on-track video of a Vulcan, and play through big speakers. I think you will agree, that the Vulcan does make a very exciting sound.

Street/Road driving.
Have you seen the video of the same Cleveland Vulcan, being driven on a highway/road?
'The coppers would never know the difference'.
The police even provide an escort and stop other traffic !
You must have some very helpful police in USA.
Such a request here, would probably get bogged down in paperwork, and numerous people would be saying how dangerous it would be.

Think you missed my point. No paperwork, just bait and switch by using the legally registered i-77 paperwork and plate to drive the illegal Vulcan on the road on occasion. Cops stops you, looks at the reg , plate and VIN, sees AM 1-77 in orange, looks at the Vulcan, looks OK to him. So off you go with various and sundry tickets for whatever, but not for driving an unregistered car.

I did understand your point Steve.

Your suggestion has reminded me. A little bit like owning two cars of the same model and colour, but with just one set of number plates. It was suggested that one or two might have done this a very long time ago, to attend motor sport events without using a trailer.

Presumably, anyone owning both a One-77 and a Vulcan, would just rent the local race circuit any time they wanted to.

As I mentioned, it was great to see the Cleveland car on public roads.
