Looks like engineers will always be nerds... Flicking off the camera! LOL! Gotta love it!

And as a future engineer... I would have done the same thing!

We didn't hear it rev very high because he short-shifted, but on the low end it sounds like standard BMW V8.... nice sound, but I kinda prefer the I6 noises... especially of the E36 M3. That thing sounded MEAN.

I guess different strokes for different folks.... you probably aren't too keen of the exhaust note of the 2JZ-powered Lexus models then either!
