Watched the video's a dn I understand that the car is styled by Pininfarina - but I couldn't work out was the whistling noise? Dump Valve?

i can't remember if it was the Fiat Coupe or the Peugeot 406 Coupe, but one had Pinnafarina badges even though they only actually designed the dashboard :shifty:

but I couldn't work out was the whistling noise? Dump Valve?
it seems to whistle when it comes on boost (has it had a de-cat), Big Tosser makes a jet engine sound when she comes on boost (but nothing like that tho)

Duane i can see an image of your car on a runway with a euro fighter next to it, you hit the loud pedal and he checks to see if his engine is running!

ROTF

Be too loud for me in the back ... your ears are younger and would cope with the inevitable damage better ... LoL :D

[Mrsmopp]

My young ears are very sensitive tho (I have been told that as you get older your hearing deteriorates) so surely as the new generation you should want to preserve my hearing (One day I may become Prime Minister and take over the world!!!)

I see your point, but should you become Prime Minister you must be able to turn a deaf ear to things you don't like ..... surely it would be more honest to actually have the 'deaf ear' to turn :D

Hmmmm. just read that again .... honest and Prime Minister in the same breath .... you're right, you can have the front seat :D

[Mrsmopp]

God help us :hidesbehi

15-7 beating a MK2 golf gti 16v thing, thank god! Took her very carefully of the line no more than 1500 revs if that, nose dipped on gear changes to save clutch some how miss whiplash hit 70 in 2nd normally would change up at 65!
Have been treating her gently through the gears doing slow gentle changes as have a lot of meetings this week out of Notts, Im sure I could get another 10k out of clutch if I dont race or let anyone else drive her. Need to save some money and grovel to Mr Pengelly for a bit of discount.

[helrazor]

Wow, That is a fast dashboard!! :thewave:

[Justin]

Fast dashboard??? Which?

[Pedro Fandango]

:wtf: i'm lost

[Justin]

Me too ?????

[helrazor]

Just messin' about, the video in the original post was a shot from a cockpit showing not much more than a DASHBOARD. I'd like to see the rest of the car. It looks very fast, is there a link to see more of this car?
