That car sounds great, and it seems to get through first gear really really fast!

Wow, first time ever that an Alfa V6 over 2.5l doesn't sound like a tractor... :shock: :D

Hi Barry,
why that 3.6 screams like that while most v6 over 3.0 dont?
Is it the exaust width that makes the diference? I changed my original exaust of my 2.5 12v from the middle of the car to the tail. I cutted there and welded a custom made replica of the last half of the exaust system but significaly wider than the original. Know it doesnt scream like it used to. It feels more rev happy but the sound is deeper. If you listen it from the outside sounds like a Ferrari 250. I prefer how it sounds now from the outside, but inside the sound was better before the modification. I will try to upload a video.

Lucas,The exhaust on this particular car is 76mm.Its got 2 silencers(!!)in as well...What I realy should have done is taken two 57mm pies from the middle to the rear..It would have made it a lot quieter.The 76mm pipe is derived from our racing days with the race GTA`s...Its loud,but realy works..Fernando enjoys it as well..Thats important.

Holy F#%^&* ! can this car go. Barry asked me to film the rev counter as he "drove " this morning. Dont think I got much of the rev counter in as my vision was distorting exponentially through every gear.
Sounds really good. I also never thought a 24v motor could sound really deep (not sure what that means).Got to try find a way of changing the sound on my 3.2 as it has crackling sound. This 3.6 comes really close to the 2.5 V6 in terms of sound through the mid range then at about seven though out comes that super car sound!
Hey Baz , have your neighbours come to complain yet with us all tearing up and down your street today. Dont think we'll have another wild dog spotting for a while.
