Which is also part of the uninspiring racing sound. When you start your gear run at 2.5k rpm instead of 4.5k rpm it will sound a lot lazier and boring accelerating out of a curve indepedent on what gear you are in or how long it is. Welcome to torque racing... Let's face it, it sucks from an audio excitement point of view compared to a NA screamer but the power will be impressive and there still seem to be a nice top end to explore. And this chassi...oh yeah.
