Some V8 noise for you.

Nition · 05-08-2012, 03:10 AM

A short drive with friends. I only managed to record a small portion of the run due to a lack of space in my SD card. Enjoy!

Mmmdreamer · 05-08-2012, 03:24 AM

Sounds good, is that with xpipe/exhaust aftermarket?

dadealus · 05-08-2012, 03:26 AM

^ same question, what mods?

awesome vid! thanks I enjoyed it

THE TECH · 05-08-2012, 08:29 AM

Sounds good. Definitely an intake of some sort I think.

IND-Distribution · 05-08-2012, 08:53 AM

That looks like a beautiful road.

I M STIG · 05-08-2012, 09:04 AM

Beautiful road and sound!

F82_SID · 05-08-2012, 09:12 AM

Ahhh! Music to my ears!

Peahi · 05-08-2012, 02:09 PM

Nice stuff! Looks like highway 9. Is it me or sometimes the engine sounds like its lugging? I was like "downshift man." Maybe because of your mods and my crappy ears!

Nition · 05-08-2012, 03:43 PM

The only mod I have is the Akrapovic Slip-on. No mods under the hood.

Yup you're right. I left it in 4th/5th at times because I knew my buddy in the R32 was slowing down. I wanted to let the engine breathe a little. This video is only a very short portion of the run and I was paranoid about overheating the engine.

positiveions · 05-08-2012, 03:50 PM

my question is What's in that GTI? has some good mid range power.
This is one heck of a nice road. Kinda of scary though due to the fact it has some cyclists riding.
thanks for sharing.

1MOREMOD · 05-08-2012, 04:04 PM

why would you be worried about overheating? you can do that much more aggressively on the track all day.

tmntmn · 05-08-2012, 04:09 PM

Looks like a nice road for a nice drive where is it at?

I shouldn't be. But I was keeping the RPM between 5000 and redline while trying to keep up with the R32 so I stay in the power band. I would say that I was pushing the engine as hard as I would on the track. Also, I knew that the guy in front of me was slowing down so there's no point in keeping it at high RPM. I should not be worried about overheating but I'm paranoid like that.

I think he's making close to 300hp. He's got Bilstein coilovers, Brembo brakes, light alloy wheels (don't remember the brand), exhaust, removed the back seats, and I think a tune. I'm sure I missed a lot of other stuff as well but fast, light car + better driver > M3 + lousy driver.

jonasaurus · 05-08-2012, 04:19 PM

but yea what over heating are you talking about?

EDIT: ok read your reply to chriszeh

Yeah...hella motorcycles on that road too...everyone sharing. Scary and you gotta be be careful of the bikes for sure. Highway 9 keeps lifeflight in business if you know what I mean.

Speed limit: 30. Yeahright. Lol

yeah no need to worry. looks like fun. just be careful. work on the skills that r32 shouldnt own you.

Highway 9 is legit. You have to get there early to avoid traffic and cyclists who enjoy getting in your way.
