love to see the Esprit still keeps up the pace of the late model Corvette Z06....

the sounds are amazing!

:( That Corvette is no where near stock. It has about twice the hp than it had when it left the factory.

I would consider my car mildly modded. I have a Red ECU, upgraded wastegates, Blitz boost controller set at 12psi, no cats, dump valves and water injection. Although I just found out yesterday that I was spraying too much water costing me hp instead of gaining any.

Superb!

I loved it at about 1:10 on the other vid where they do into that underpass! :)

Speaking of underpasses - There's a short notice London Midnight Tunel Run tonight - I think I might just have to attend now!!!

Make the most of the dry weather. Followed by a 7am hoon follwoed by a lunchtime meet and ANOTHER run!!!! :) :) :(

Actually the Gallardo SE is a lilttle quicker than the Murci. So I guess you can say bye bye Murci too. :)

Thanks, It seems like the clip of that same Gallardo and my Esprit reving has already become a classic too.

Great sounds.

No cats but any silencing at all on the exhaust - is it the federal Lotus own exhaiust?

No silencing, just straight pipes.
