I know it's not in the same league, but my RX7 had a partial exhaust
system and when it was wound out (between 6500-8500 RPM) it has a
very lovely exhaust note. I ran it up there whenever I could. Of
course, that also meant that at night you could see licks of flames
exiting the pipes, too. Awesome. An RX7 under full song at night is
both sight and sound.
Hmm. I AM looking for another vehicle...
