for those of u that have the CGT u all know the driver doesn't get to hear the beautiful sound from outside. since i'm still breaking in the engine so no chance to get above the 6k yet. but what RPM u like the most besides way up there. i just LOVE the sound when u rev at around 2,000 to 2,200. it's actually pretty freaky sound.

Im not a CGT owner, but know several 
As for someone standing behind a CGT 6ft behind the car while taking off (say about 3hours ago hehe...) Hearing the 1st and 2nd gear on a take off, its pretty damn breathtaking!!!
It sounded like you hit over 6000 RPM 
Many thanks!!!

Arling, that CGT sounds like pure sex on wheels...but I heard something like an entire orgy while up in Monterey at the Historics! This 917 was sold at the RM auction right in front of my eyes. When they started it up, it was the most incredible sound I've ever heard other than an F1 car.

917-
Lucky you dave! I want to hear one of those. Is it a high pitch sound???
CGT-
I dont know which RPM I like to hear constantly, I prefer hearing the engine rev up under full load blasting down the highway like BHANE mentioned. Spine tingling.

Arling... since you guys did such a good job on my alignment, I'll return the favor and drive your CGT while you stand outside so that you can get the full impact of how it sounds...

....oh boy wait ´till u broke her in and then go out to a tunnel, roof panels off, and then floor it
i know what sound u´re talking about at that rpm range from 2k to 2500 but i especially love it to fully accelerate from 3k right up to 8000+ rpm...
i have a sound file on my PC and will upload it asap...

I drove behind Matt a couple times, and the 8,000 and above range sounds phenominal.
The pitch is so much higher than a GT2 or turbo that its hard to believe the same manufacturer makes both engines.
