never been a fan of the Ferrari sound but that TB setup has got to be an improvement but 70k on engine work for under 500bhp I'd be disappointed

never been a fan of the Ferrari sound... Same here, they just sound like a superbike to me, far too tinny

I bet it sounds pretty fruity... standard TR's can sound a little flat, but this one seems suitably perked up. Can't really understand how so much cash has resulted in so little power though, like nightmares said, I'd be pretty disappointed!
Also, saying all Ferrari's sound 'tinny' and like 'superbikes' is a ludicrous generalisation. True your standard footballers 360 might sound a bit cack, but you can't compare that to the sound of a proper Ferrari engine... something like the 712P (6.9l V12) which sounds unbelievable in the flesh.

Looks pretty cool in black
He doesnt say 70k has been spent on the engine
he says over 70k has been on the car including the engine work
So factor in the initial purchase, the paint, the retrim, the fab work etc etc soon adds up..
and good to see thats its been done fairly subtle form the external too..

To be fair it doesn't say it's had 70k spent on the engine, it says it's had 70k spent including the engine. We don't know what proportion of that money went on the engine. I bet it's pretty easy to rack up a 70k bill just on maintenance with that thing, let along modifications. Edit, beaten to it by Lawsy

Is it bad that I'd want to put black Rota Grids on it?
