Hi! Do you have any videos of where you rev the engine a little bit, so I can get an idea of how it sounds in the higher RPM? (if you don't mind... hahah).

This looks really awesome. I normally dislike kit cars, but this was done really, really well! And what an engine combination!!!

I've never been a fan of listening to a parked car revving its engine. What I enjoy hearing is an engine revving under load... whether that be a "drive by" accelerating car, or on a dyno. That to me sounds a whole lot more interesting. I want to hear an engine working, with the pedal to the metal. (A lumpy idle is good too.)

Oh, it's possible.

Don't get me wrong, I don't feel a lopey idle is required for an engine to sound good. It's just an added bonus. However, I do like the sound of a healthy engine under load while accelerating.

Your car has been beautifully done up. I look forward to more videos of it in the spring!
