Ohhhh man that is cool
 I am not a race fan by any means, I just love things that go fast. Real fast. Insanely fast. That guy was not only an outstanding driver, but had a mount to match his skills. At least the drivers in front of him saw him coming and shifted over to let him scream by. And like the poster above, I am deaf now  Dram out |

That thing just SCREAMS! I love it! Wouldn't be much fun during a commute, but it would kick ass to have such driving skills.
I believe that is a semi-automatic transmission? We should all be familiar with how that works!

The whole back end of the field looked like people who'd never driven a real car on a real racetrack before. Rank amateurs, or worse!
That guy outclassed almot everybody else. It was almost embarrassing to watch. CJ |

why would the transmission make a sound like that? I drive a 5 speed, my previous car was a 5 speed 1st GEN dsm (modded)
It NEVER sounded like that. That's higher then a 1000cc crotch rocket at high rpms |

Straight cut gears on the transmission. Its roughly the same sound your transmission (may) make when you put it in reverse and stomp on the gas. Whines like a mean pissed off bitch doesnt it?

Straight-cut gears are almost never used on passenger vehicles for the reason you're hearing. Due to slight clearance for fit, there's chatter between the gears when they mesh. The angle cut gears don't have to unmesh and remesh each time--several teeth are in contact at all times, and as such, make a bit less noise. ETA, damn he hauled ass.

The Dutch Supercar Cup is pretty much a group of cars that didn't fit into other classes.
For example you have cars similar to cavaliers, from a cavalier cup that stopped the year previous to that, you have standard BMW's, Porsches, and FIA GT classed cars in the same race. The variety and the type of cars are very widespread. So put a factory prepped BMW, or a FIA GT Porsche 911, or a Marcos 500 on the back of the starting grid, and you'll see things like this. He probably didn't pass the techical inspections on the day prior, or got disqualified or missed the qualifications. |
