Yes, i totally forgot about the noise the engine makes in my review. I intended to put that in there also. It has a high wine especially under hard acceleration. The thing shifts over 6k when floored so that may be why its like that. It almost sounds like its going to self destruct just before it shifts. You also hear it when your just cruising under light acceleration, but not real bad. I think thats just the nature of a smaller engine though. It has to rev like that to get power as with the bigger blocks we get power at low rpms.
