Default S2 Track toy: A little taste (video)

I have been taking the car out for gentle morning runs to break in the rod bearings. I also installed my new camera mount last night and wanted to test it out. So here is a compilation of some various runs through the gears.

Apologies for the very dirty windscreen and poor exposure. I didn't realize the exposure settings were wrong until I got back.

I have to admit - I love the sound of the solid transaxle mount through the body. sounds absolutely mean.

Enjoy.

...clearly you need to reset the exposure settings and do it all again!

Sounds great!

I love the low end torque and the sound of the N/A!

Looks like fun. I think the S2 is my favorite of the model line up as much as a 968, just different. I do like the mechanical noise from the gears combined with the exhaust note. Sweet car.

What muffler/cat combo is that? I have the magnaflow, and from inside it sounds mean, but outside a tad raspy.

Here's the whole combo - please note, this system is 90% custom.

Headers: Racer's Edge long tube
Magnaflo Racing cat
3" custom stainless to 3" straight flow Hooker muffler

do it on a track, rediculouly dangerous on a public road no matter how good you think you are and best hope no one from ga law enforcement sees it.

WTF are you talking about? I was doing the speed limit the entire time. (The tach didn't go over 5K in any gear.) Get a grip...
