Getting us back on track, here's a video of Ken Block driving the car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Love the oversteer at 0:10. Overall, the car looks very composed and well-damped but that sound is just horrible. It's like a flatulant vacuum.
Wow, that does sound dreadful. Ugh! I like it otherwise, though.
Thats just horrid.

They must have made a deal with some aftermarket exhaust manufacturer.

I'm also reading that they're talking 0-60 in under 4.5s and skidpad of 1g.

It's amazing what you can get for $35K today. Those numbers were world-class top-level sportscar (and not far off supercar) numbers 15 years ago!
