    My GT has arrived! & the GT sound

    Got the call this am from my dealer to say the GT has finally arrived, just been down to take a look, wow, its bloody amazing, also, there has been much debate over the sound so i thought i would get my mate to video as i started her up and moved her outside to get a better look, i think it sounds pretty good but await your responses.

    Its number 36 of 333 ( 33 in the UK )

    here we go, enjoy!

    Re: My GT has arrived! & the GT sound

    Interesting ... I don't know what that 'snap' is in the exhaust sound - some sort of gate or something? But, it sounds very hot to me and I'm sure there's nothing like being there in person next to it :-)

    What a spectacular colour choice you made for you GT - I just love that combo!

    Congratulations. Get it broken in properly and then report back ASAP :-)

    Re: My GT has arrived! & the GT sound

    Ok..lets get one thing out the way first...

    I am jealous!!

    Hard to judge the sound but certainly sounds much more interesting than a standard V10 exhaust.

    Color is sensational..so want pics..now!!!

    A black GT arrives in October unsold at my dealer..so I really want to know everything Colin..so please make the posts and reviews..LONG.

    Congratulations in a big way.
