Maserati, If you really want the TT V8 I would wait.I caught a couple of short vids this past Friday of a VR TTV8 making some high speed runs at the Performance Center. It sounded like a racecar!! Catching the V8 X6 at full song on the PC track has been like spotting the Lock Ness Monster.Not many sightings!!! The problem w/ the vids is HORRIBLE wind noise.The wind has been blowing around here at 25MPH or more for the last couple of wks.I'm going to try and edit the wind noise out.The exhaust note is "NASCAR "like.Deep loud V8 roar.The exhaust note,to me,sounds louder and deeper than the V8 X5.You will not mistake the 35i for the 50i based on the exhaust note.I'm trying to figure out a fix for the wind noise.It's always going to be a problem anywhere around the Performance Center,it's very open like an airport.Thanks.
