Sorry Gio. I gets confused. They all look the same.

I miss SITM '09 already. Only 355 days 'till SITM '10. Too much rain this year, but still worth all the fuss.

Rixter, you just replied to what might be the most moronic first post EVER! They probably don't even have a 928...just wish they did. Don't give people like that attention, it just encourages them...

Sounded great.

If there had been a mic in my 928, you would have heard the BWWWAAAAHHH in the tunnels and me laughing like an idiot at ever long run and tight turn along the BRP and Rt. 80

I have had a super charged Corvette as a DD for 4-5 years now, I miss the loud whine in the 928, and as soon as money allows I am going to fix that problem.
I also think that RT 80 is every bit as good as the Dragon.

I've complained to D.R. that there's not enough belt whine with the 928SP Twin Screw system. I want more belt whine.

Can't hardly here it at all over the sound of the exhaust.

Belt whine.

Is that the supercharger equivalent of sticking playing cards in your bicycle spokes?

Uhh That may have something to do with your exhaust.

The procharger in my Vette is a D1, which I think has straight cut gears, it is the gear whine I hear and the sound of the air being "Sheared" when it goes into the blower.

I have had folks ask me "What is wrong with your car?"
I just tell them the alternator is bad and I can not afford a new one.
