The exhaust isn't whats making that sound.. Or the speed. Thats all internal.

I have a boosted version of this, with all the internals developed. This includes valve train, valves, and camshafts.

BUT... The price tag that it has costs more than 5 Boxsters.

You are experiencing the all around higher average HP and Torque that I spoke about earlier in this thread.

Yep. Thats exactly how it went.

The engine sounds every bit as good as the Flat 12 in my Testarossa... This combo never sounds like an M96, or even a Porsche.

It happens all the time.
