the ladies love the noise."

:D

Have to say he has a point.

Except I had the same reaction the first time I went to a Champ car race. And those were turbo muffled 2.65L V8s. Will I4 turbos be much different?

Champ cars weren't exactly quiet though...

I think that's what he means. They weren't quiet, so would I4's really be quiet? I think a lot of factors go into the sound an engine makes. I remember the IRL had NA V8s that sounded so bad, while F1 has been using V8 engines now (and in the past) that sound pretty good.

It's odd what he draws a line in the sand at.

I agree with Bernie on something. Maybe the world is coming to an end.

Bernie knows what the ladies like? OK, he's right, the smart ones can appreciate F1 engine song, but how did he find out?

Never mind, I'm sure I don't want to know. :yuck:
