Maybe years of driving cars with loud exhausts has damaged my hearing and I'm just not picking up on whatever the rest of you are hearing.

I'm just surprised you don't feel it. The vibration from the clutch pedal and throttle is insane. Maybe Anthony will let me drive his Monterrey Blue 370 this weekend and I will flog it and see if it feels like running while breathing through a straw and trying to poop in a constipated fashion. I'm sure he won't mind.
