Default First Growl

Tonight was the first time I got on it. I took off from a light in second gear and took it to 4000rpm before shifting to drive. It growled at around 2800rpm, and became a different vehicle around 3300, It was quite nice. I'm addicted.
For those of you who know, you know. For those of you who don't know, you need to find out.

@mtr

They are quite smile inducing when you push them. If you want it to really "growl", fit the growler induction kit.......

At 4000 rpm the V12 has barely started to boil :-)

Hee hee. I thought of that right as I was hitting the "submit reply" button :-) I decided to leave it as-is. Seemed appropriate :-)
