For those wondering how my car sounds & how it accelerates now, this should give you a slight idea

VERY VERY VERY nice Gro. Can't tell by the audio, but it sounds (no pun intended) like you may have done some serious sound deadening / insulating cause it appeared quite quiet in the cockpit - no wind noise either - what's your secret. I Llike to have a nice sounding car too, but I like the choice of putting the window down and getting an earfull - when I want to.
Nice vid too, must have had a good stretch of clear road to use.

WOW!

That thing flys! Congrats man, BTW it seems like you 5th gear is set nice and low, is this true? how did you do that, I hear you can change the final gear...

I have a 4.11 final drive in the car is probably why the 5th seems low as crap. I also have larger diamter tires on the stock 15" rims for the winter (205/60's instead of the factory 205/55's).

As for the sound...the camera is the reason it sounds so quiet. It isn't excruciatingly loud when I'm full throttling it, but its close. I have a silencer i put in the car normally when I go on long trips. The vid was taken w/out the silencer installed. THE camera muffled the crap out of the sound, it is a canon S200. plus the fact I was holding the camera while steering with that arm, I might have covered the Mic area a lil bit.

I'm gonna try to get a friend to get a vid of me driving the car while they stand outside.

And, my car isn't insulated lol. I removed the floor sound deadening under the carpet. I don't get that much road noise but I have a crappy droning sound from the new tires I put on. I also get decent wind noise at high speeds. My window seals are coming out of place & are already bent out of shape and impossible to correct. I refuse to pay 77 dollars each for new ones from the dealership

so is that the 2.5 tranny? I have stupid 65 series tires on my car, but it only makes a slight difference.
