Very cool Alex - your RS sounded awesome today. I can only imagine what it sounds like at 8800 rpm.

When I come by to pick up my car, you've GOT to take me for a ride!

Cheers,
Rich

That's an awesome read. I knew about this car and have looked at the dyno session more than once. But the article really brings it to life.

Congrats!

Thank you Mike... We didn't rush this and even though the entire 3.9 project took us about 2.5 years of dev. time I still think it was the right thing to do vs releasing a 3.8

Sorry Rich, I don't think any 996s/997s can sound like Kermit. Alex was lying.
