That is a serious piece of iron there. Being an old gearhead, I would drive it, and pray I could get at least 6 mpg, 3 more likely. In a 1st gen chassis, it would be a major handfull to drive.

Sounds like pistons to me, I'm a little disappointed. You get that noise at just about every stop light here in rural Georgia. Anybody got a good 12A recording? I keep meaning to do mine, it's real sweet. Someday.

Mmmm, I love me an old-era's Camaro. And that motor just tops it. But, I also love the sound of a rotary. Had a guy driving a 2nd Gen vert and he wound that engine up. Damn, that was just orgasmic. Someone needs to do a recording of their motor. I can't do mine because I have the SE and it's just quiet. However, I still wonder what it sounds like on the outside when wound up.

Agghhh, I'm being credited for copying someone else's link, I'm sure to get in trouble.

Rookie 117 was the one who posted that link!

Thanks Rookie 117, I hadn't seen that one.
