I find the noise annoying - whiny and shrieky. The SC noise can become bothersome after a while.

The video seems kinda fake for some reason. Maybe it's the kind of blurry video, or that noise in the beginning. Assuming it's legit, the SC whine sounds a lot like the harvesters from Quake 4.

That canyon is a small example of many near my house in So Cal. There is another video on Streetfire of him on my favorite, much longer (17 twisty miles), canyon that I regularly take home from work.
When I mentioned the name of the other canyon on Streetfire, he erased my post, PMing me that it would attract squid. He's right.
We put up with a lot of BS as enthusiasts in California, but I know of nowhere better for lots of great driving roads.

He's already about 20 percent through when the video starts. If you know it, please keep it's name to yourself.

BTW he has great lane discipline, more than I can say for some others that have crossed into the oncoming, trying to keep up with me.

Not sure I like the look, I mean it's nice to see an Exige without the ridiculous, RC Pro-AM spoiler. The interior is way over done. And yeah something about the video is suspicious. His line keeps very tight within the lanes at such speed, better than I think most people could do with massive grip or low CoG. With so many appearance based mods on the car, it's not out of the question that the user did some post-production on the video.

Even if that video is sped up I'm sure it's unreal to drive.
