I am routinely told by anyone who hears this car that it is the best sounding car they have ever heard. You can't go out driving without getting compliments, smiles, and looks of amazement. While this video does not do justice, it is a starting point. This is with the rear mufflers off (they can be bolted on to quiet it down) which is commonly how I would drive it.

All receipts are available, clear title in hand, SERIOUS OFFERS ONLY. Car is currently in the Pittsburgh, PA area and could possibly be delivered or meet a buyer from here down the east coast through Florida as we will be headed that way in about a month and I have a car hauler.
