ehhhhhhhhh I dont think I like it…nope, nope I dont. Sorry Jay, nice try though, cool car except for the ugly exhuast and dash, but it still is whiny. I do think they probably sound good in person going by you at 160 at high rpm, but that midrange rpm sounds like its whining. They talk to much during the run to be positive, but the interior shots didnt sound like anything special either so. ---

I do think they probably sound good in person going by you at 160 at high rpm, but that midrange rpm sounds like its whining. They talk to much during the run to be positive, but the interior shots didnt sound like anything special either so. I used to feel that same way. Coming from the Mustang scene where the rumbling exhaust is king (btw Mustangs sound \> Camaro/Corvette sound) but these v10/v12 cars are certainly more refined. It seems like as soon as you start adding more cylinders, the engine doesn’t rumble, its smooths out and growls. I’ve developed an appreciation for the sound over the years. The combination of speed, style, sound that you get from a car like the Zonda trumps anything an American pony car can offer. ---
