my mate has an alfa gta so he took me for a breakdown.
results were,after a tunnel test.
s2000 has the best induction noise.
gta has a good alround sound.
r8 has the best exhaust note.except it is so fast it leaves it behind for other peeps to enjoy.

Why do people want to make their car a sheep in wolf's clothing?
It just shouts "I'm poor - I can't afford it and it's chipping away at me."

Always been fascinated by these going back to porsche engined Beetles etc.

I'm a big fan of wolves in sheep's clothing.
I always wanted a 6R4 performance standard metro ie visually not difference.
IN the same vein I can really appreciate phils2k's turbo nutter S2000. Although I don't really understand why he's done it
At the time I got the M3, I considered sticking a 316i badge on it.
But at the end of the day. If I want a better car, I buy it better, rather than change anything.

Especially with the wonderfully bonkers W116 450SEL 6,9. A simple 280S badge and the car was a total Wolf im Scharfspelz. Probably saved weight too!

I like the Japanese idea - that cars are mandatorily written off every few years. I hope it catches on.
And Honda have already started building in timed redundancy into their engines.
