Greatest NSX exhaust note ever?

No doubt, every NSX track enthusiast recalls the IMSA-Lights championship winning Spice-Acura prepared by Comptech in the early 90's:

Here's some background on the video below: Recently (first week of October), that car was fully restored and put on track at Daytona. Preparation by Metro Racing in Florida. The driver was Nigel Greensall, a British driver and European champion who is a friend of mine and a member of Chin Motorsports. there are many things to enjoy in the video below, which is onboard at Daytona. BUT, the best thing may be the exhaust note... it's arguably the most highly prepared naturally-aspirated C30A 3L NSX V-6 in the world... Enjoy!

How can you build it up like that and then post a video without sound?!

Try taking off your mute button.

I wish they would have shown the corresponding RPM.

 

[Mac Attack]

Thanks! I feel stupid.

+1 on that.

The C30 never sounds like it is really doing high RPM's -

Agreed.

I'm actually quite disappointed with the exhaust note. :redface:

If it makes any difference audio only played on the left channel from my system

Agreed.

I rather like it. It's sounds uniquely NSX but more visceral. It doesn't sound "F1" if that was what people were expecting

We all love our cars, and the NSX exhaust is unique and nice sounding for a V6, but it is definitely not a super exotic sounding exhaust note.

When I got my Tubi for my NSX, my friend who has a Lambo Murci with a Tubi said "sounds nice, but it sounds like it's missing 6 more cylinders." :tongue:

 

[Nukem]

definetly sounded like a NSX.

What a great racing machine, we enjoyed checking it out in Vegas at NSXPO 2010!

I'm surely biased, but I think Cody's original LoveFab 'shop' car has the most riotous exhaust note I've experienced to date.
