Default Carbon Cobra start up and U tube test

Doug Boone a ten year Ferrari mechanic doing some fine tuning on the Carbon Cobra. Yes he had to take the steering wheel off to get at some areas under the dash. Jeez it's a NASTY engine. I told the builder that I wanted it to sound wicked but.......

I had a choice between quieter and louder. Picked louder, probably a mistake at least in my neighbors eyes (or ears).

It has a Milodon cheater gear drive. It eliminates the cam chain drive. Sounds a little like a blower.

It's called an Exact. I think he is taking a breather from building (sort of) and organizing his thoughts as to the direction he intends to go.
