Coffee Table Art!
 

Just put a piece of glass on it and use it as a coffee table!

Man that's just too purdy to hide! Wow! Just WOW!!

LOL ... Thanks Ty !!
Yes, seeing it now in person all done last night was incredible
And hearing it, I cannot describe how insanely loud and crisp it is ...

So ... here we go, final pics and some video clips

Again, if you want anything close to what it actually sounds like, wear headphones for this, and do not turn it up too loud


1st Start ....
Valves closed, so this is completely through mufflers

This is where I get in (excuse my ugly mug :D) and rev her up to 5000
Again, this video does no justice to how insanely crazy this thing sounds in real life

And ... no it's not taking on fire LOL, its burning off the ceramic and the heat blankets

Revs like a sport bike. Sounds great. Learned something new about the x-pipe bridge affecting the sound.

Whose doing the interior? Need someone for my 72 Blazer build !

Exhaust sounds wild! What is the new company name of that did it?

Great sound and beautiful fab work!

Thank you !
Where are you located ??

Cheers
Steve

Sounds awesome outside. How loud is it inside when just cruising?

LMAO ... I don't even need to post anything here anymore as Skip has my back !!

Thanks Skip !

So after all the dust has settled, and almost everything is complete on the 360 as you can see from Skips videos I finally got some seat time in the car ... and the results are in ...

Here is what I wrote on Ferrari Chat

Morning all ... some updates !!
Finally have some seat time in the 360 ... I thought this car was going to be good but OMG this car is way beyond my expectations.
First off, some perspective ... Val the chief mechanic at PFAFF reserve (has worked on Ferrari's for almost 20 years) told me after he drove the car with all the modifications that the car was absolutely 'as good if not better' than a Challenge Stradale so already my expectations where high.

And then I drove it .... WOW
The sound, the shifting, the suspension, the incredibly improved throttle response (BIG thanks Trev !!) ... hands down the most fun, exhilarating, connected car I've personally ever driven, and I've driven some very serious cars. THIS is how a car should make you feel ... Just the right amount of power, beauty, handling, F1 sound, comfort and connection.

My intention was to build the the best gated 360 possible with the goal of creating the best driving experience one could possibly have, and as of right now anything I drive after this would be a disappointment

More updates, pics coming after the PFAFF Reserve open house /car show this weekend

Cheers
Steve

Some good interior shots with the updates

Trey, to answer your question even with the valves open (in videos) cruising on the highway with the windows open you can still have a conversation. With Valves closed its absolutely perfect, the sound is even more F1 and quieter with absolutely no drone ... have to admit we got REALLY lucky on how this all came together to produce one of if not the best sounding 360's around.

As my buddy said the other night ... "I dont care how much this exhaust cost it's worth EVERY penny"

Cheers
Steve

Skip, mind throwing this one up for everyone
Wife just loving the sound ...

Above 5000rpm now when the 5th valves open is simply glorious, and pulls so smoothly
