ha ha!
i like to think of the ole Probestien as 'war weary' with a certain 'strength of character'. as Indianna Jones once said -- 'it ain't the years; it's the mileage!'
a race VW VR6 sounds pretty damn good; a kinda deeper, more melodious sound; awesome sounding machine! (i once had a red 95 GTi VR6).
but, the Probe is more of a menacing sort of high pitched shriek, especially if i am having to over-rev it and use 'war emergency' power!
here's a very short vid (poor quality, unfortunately) from years and years ago; its before i had developed my big brake kit (the stock Probe brakes would last about 5 laps racing, and then you checked into 'fade city'). i remember this race; i was trying to stay in front of a 944S (racing with EMRA). i was using 'war emergency' power in the straights, and the brake pedal was going to the floor every brakezone (we had about 4 laps to go!). i would stomp the brakes, and downshift to try to slow the car; the tach was pointing straight down (8500++) and if you listen, during that downshift, you'll hear the motor 'crackling' and the valves floating! it's a wonder that i didn't blow the motor during that race (i held on til the checker in front!). that next weekend, i started designing and building my BBK. and never looked back since!

now that is what i like to think of as 'good n loud'! i was really turning that motor! (i don't turn it like that anymore; now that the brakes work, i don't need to in order to slow it; and i fear winding it like that in 4th gear lap after lap in a 40 min race will cause its demise)

hell, yeah! bring that rabbit back for summit! what did Micky say to Rocky? 'just one more round!'

From all involved in making the track program run we thank you for your kind words. It is nice to know our efforts to provide a quality track program do not go unnoticed. Thanks again.
