You guys really think the supercharger whine sounded good?!?

Sounded like a single toothed geezer blowing on a broken harmonica to me...


Though to me, it sounde more like a retarded dolphin getting grinded at a tuna factory.

LOL, both of those were spot on!

I really don't see how someone can appreciate that sound. I've never ridden inside a SC'ed car... is that what they all sound like inside the cabin?

So you little girlies don't like the sound of MO' POWA!

I see how it is...

I think its only twin screw superchargers or something that make that supercharger whine, my dad's Miata does it!

id much rather hear turbo spool than a supercharger whine, BUT all in all that was a pretty fast cooper. I wish I could have seen more of what was going on in the vid though.
