That my friend, is the sound of a straight cut gearbox. :D
No competition car is complete until a straight cut, close ratio gearbox is fitted to it. Theres no emotion on the smilies that can punctuate the feeling of the sound of it;whining away,while the roar,of a growling engine, sucking in as much air as its possible to breathe, and throwing the power out the back of it into seat wetting torque, that only a car can give a man. :shock:
Is it in a barn somewhere?Well who knows to which lucky f*@ker we should be asking that question to.??!
