360 Modena with a TUBI- Yessssss
Discussion
Manu, Ajay & Ninja already know this but the 360 with a TUBI sounds BLOODY FANTASTIC 
I just can't get over it. I know I said I wanted it to sound like Ninja's 355 but I never thought it would really. And it does! By Christ it does. Through the rev range it goes from thrummy through the 'machine gun' rat tat into a full blooded howl 
. Totally,totally awesome. That was a great time we had driving around Egham and we've just watched the video shot from Ninja' 355- even put a smile on Mrs 456's face so I'm not in the doghouse after all. Sorted.
I did Hatfield tunnel four times on the way home and I played it for a BMW driver who obviously loved it. I know it's bloody loud outside, but it was fine cruising on the motorway- hardly much louder than the stock exhaust. It starts howling at 3K,which is perfect since cruising revs are 3250+ so my drive home was accompanied by a quiet howl.
Yet again a fantastic time guys. Really, really enjoyed it and the result is just immense.
God I'm happy. Manu & Ajay, thank you so much. ScuderiaSystems will be inundated when any other 360 owner hears my car, or sees the look on my face right now.

Guy- good to meet you too! Was telling the guys about your car earlier today. Interesting what you say about the engine vs exhaust since it sounded pretty sensational as you pulled into the car park. Yours is easily the baddest car I have ever seen, and as someone said yesterday, it's as though you were at Le Mans and turned left out of the pits instead of right!
As for the 360, you really need to hear it in the flesh unless Manu has some sound files that do it justice. And it's the Formula One howl that does it for me.

Ninja- So glad you like it old bean! Can't get over it myself- it's just SUCH a dramatic change in the exhaust note. As you said yourself- just what the f*** are Ferrari doing? I can well understand why most US owners get them fitted before delivery. I've uploaded the images into my webshots folder, including one close up of the tailpipes, just for you. http://community.webshots.com/user/456mgt
You needed to try the 360 yourself so you could see just how easy it is to go quickly. It's a very flattering car. Been itching to start it up today but it's just too damn miserable at the moment. Later.
And I'll get cracking on the video!
See you Ninja. Can feel that tunnel run coming on.....

Trun it up LOUD!! (Driveoff is the best one IMO)
Thanks! Agree that driveoff is the best- hung on to the revs long enough for it to start howling. Getting ideas Ninja????
For God's sake can someone please suggest some dates for a tunnel blast 
? The suspense is killing me. David suggested first thing (ie sparrow's fart) Sunday morning as being a great time to do some London tunnels so what about this Sunday then go & get breakfast? Just an idea. Other times this weekend work for me too. The weekend after is Donnington and I'm still trying to carve out time for Pie on the Beach on the 8th, but that could be a good longstop.
Went out for a blast this afternoon. Ye Gods!! Roms, you just have to hear this.....

Kevin Next time you are near Marlow please let me know, the suspense is killing me and it also gives me an excuse to give the Ultima a blast

Fantastic. Will indeed drop you a line. Would like to meet up again and I'm dying to see and hear your car when you're giving it some @rseholes

Bugger! Can't do Bank Holiday Monday I'm afraid- already given my word I'd be somewhere else. Very, very early Sunday I could do and if we are up for this I'm pretty sure to make an appearance on 'Neighbours From Hell'.
Just got back from the pub and the missus said she first heard me 5-10 minutes before I arrived home. Earlier this evening, the people in the pub car park also told me they heard me. Not very interesting until you know I was 3 miles away at the time. You would have to be mental, or live a long way from human habitation to take the cats out as well (and no Manu, I'm not seriously considering it)

That was an epic afternoon- thanks everyone! Really enjoyed meeting Dom, Greg, Steve & Matt, and seeing Guy, Manu & Ninja again. Great people. Can't get over the sounds in the tunnel, all the cars but particularly Dom's Porker, which sounded just fantastic 
. I can hear it now; and the sight, sound & smell of Guy's Ultima hightailing it up the slip road was almost too much to take in. I think Manu got some good footage.....
I've had it with Sainsbury's- once again we were almost stymied by one of their damn lorries. And what is it with people? You drive a Mini for feck's sake- do you REALLY think you're going to smoke an Ultima, Porker and a brace each TVR & Ferrari? Jeeeesuuus. Couldn't help laughing at the Max Power crew suffering serious neck strain as we were all lined up to come out of that junction
either
Great afternoon. Here's to the next one.
