E equals M4C squared plus time to the power of Alfa Romeokaliber said:My thought is:
Q: "How many hours a day does virul think about the 4C?"
A: 4 to the power of C where C = 4.584
Perreby said:Topgear said they loved the engine note. Said it sounded like a Porsche 6 cylinder. Car mag said it sounds deep and gruff..
Think Autocar made those comments because when seeing a car like the 4C one would just expect it to have a massive engine..
For me I dont see how they can comment on the transmission when they haven't actually driven it themselves yet. Car for example says the gear changes are fast but not as fast as a Porsche PDK. How do they measure that? With a "butt dyno"? Because they dont have any figures to back up comments like that yet.
Virul you including yourself as one of the usual suspects?
Dreyfuss, agree the Busso V6 has to be one of the best V6 engines ever! My 156GTA's V6 roars away every weekend![]()

Only saw the clips and 4c seemed like the tamest of the bunch - Lotus sounded wild!simonb said:Thought the engine note at Goodwood was a bit tame, but apparently that was not the race exhaust. It also did not help that it followed the Exige S which sounded lovely
I find this video promising....Perreby said:And the Abarth has a long central exhaust pipe before getting too the Monza back box.. The 4C it's basically from the exhaust manifolds to back box..
Man can't the press day just pitch up so we can get some initial views and vids of the car!!
Listen to this guys http://youtu.be/KOFFrmNRqgc ....sounds good!kaliber said:At least it won't have an artificial "piped through stereo" exhaust sound in the cab.
