I saw the competition car race in the US driven by John Buffum back in the day. He was the ten time rally champion at that time but when he came to Europe to compete he usually finished outside of the top ten. When I first heard the car coming through the trees it sounded like a giant science fiction insect chasing down prey, the sound moving to the left, then to the right as the engine came off throttle then back on again, still out of sight. But that whistling roar coming closer, ever closer until it finally exploded around the corner, tail kicked out and scrabbling for traction, finding it and flashing past us and out of sight as an orange ball of flame erupted out of the tailpipe as it disappeared.
First saw one on the road in 1985/85. Red moving off from traffic lights with it very nose up as it accelerated. Even back then they were expensive but not like todays money. I missed the opportunity to buy one 😢
Dont like the sound of that blow-off valve at all. It's too much and spoils the five cylinder melody to my ears. Swap it out for a re-circulating dv , job done.
