Gotta love a twin side-firing exhaust. Its what tunnels were made for!

Ha Yep - brought a smile :D :thumbsup:

Used to be able to get my Suzuki GS1000 to back fire as loud as that; redundant spark meant - ignition kill, hand full of throttle, ignition on and POW!

Not sure if its true or not but I heard doing it this way had the possibility of the backfire going the wrong way through the carbs and setting the air filter on fire :o

Ha, well me and my biker mates always used to pretend fire at each other, blasting off the backfires in tunnels and on the road. One would start it and it'd go on for a while to liven up a long transit - never had one fire . . . or problem. On the other hand, I always used to worry about my after-market silencer shooting off. . . :cry: :rofl:

awesome cars.
I wonder if this car has catalytic converters. (I dont know if the firebreathing is possible with converters).

Also always interesting to see that british cars with straight engines/rwd are differently engineered than european ones.
