Nice soundtrack. The AGS definitely has a very unique sound.

Yeah there is no turbo in the Cosworth MINIs. The whining sound is the supercharger and the reason you can hear it so well is the microphone in the engine bay is placed inches from the AGS intake on it. Its a sweet sound none the less.

Nice exhaust note but all that whining, Ugh! I'm weird, but I like the sound of my Ford F350 Turbo Deasel w/ a full Banks kit and propane injection at full chat. God, melted rubber in fourth gear at the drag strip/

The truck is for towing stuff but the occational melted tyre is good for the soul. Try to modulate 888 foot/Lbs w/ no weight over the rear wheals, doesn't work=long quarter mile times. It's funny to get beaten by bone stock Beetles. The truck is for laughs but my MCS JCW is there to put a smile on my face.Yup! I can modulate the go fast pedal in that thing

Sounds like a large pair of slicks are in order.

So you don't really want horsepower but just the sound?
