immense torque, engine noise to die for & a noise from the rear you never forget .
just a shame mine was so problematic :x
the 3.0si still sounds well though when under throttle 8) pushed it over 5k today & a definite rasp before next gear could be heardnice

You have taken some foam out the sound generator too, right ? For impact vs effort that has to be the best mod possible. If you haven't done it then you're denying yourself even more aural pleasure 8)
Next time, push it to 7k before you change :evil: Awesome, considering it is *only* a 3 litre with nothing fancy about the exhaust. Driving behind an ///M at full chat is something else though - not sure it needs the v8 :wink:

BTW Paza, nice to have you back from the Porker forums :wink:

A standard e60 M5 does the 1/4 in less than that (i.e. mid to high 12s), and it weighs 300kg more.
