ME, TOO! 320+hp and a torque curve as flat as a pancake! handling that made the SVX feel like a pickup, and the brakes.....

I took out the secondary muffler and the cats. That was plenty loud enough!!! It was civil enough if you didn't push on it, but once it hit 4 grand, the sound was amazing!!!

i had 3" pipe from the cat back, exiting out a 5" megaphone (Cloutier's Avenger exhaust - http://www.thepowerbroker.net/avenger.htm
click on the megaphone for a sound clip). it wasn't as raspy as the clip sounds - bad recording? like it says on the page, "above 3800rpm, it sounds like the gates of Hell have been thrown open!"
also had a Magnaflow muffler that could be swapped with the megaphone in 10 minutes. i miss that car

i went to this mechanic today, and he has a most incredible collection of cars, Mustang GT fastback, (not sure one years on any of these) Porsche 914 (71) Pontiac GTO (71) Transam, Jaguar XJ6, and a Delorean. All jet black except for the Mustang which was red, and of course the Delorean. in his garage, he was working on 2 jags, 2 porsches (944's i believe) and some other vans and such.. i have to say though... the GTO was incredible. (porsche was for sale (914) not sure how much)

Lost in all of this is the fact that my co-worker was wary of driving his NSX because of the rain.

Maybe I should offer to give *him* a ride.
