RE: any idea on making the rally car noiser in da U.P.
Get rid of that hybrid powerplant and throw in my buddies rebuilt 305 (from his Monte SS that's up on blocks in L'anse) with 2 inch-duals* and glass packs, eh**. Then you can rev it up and practically hear the torque. POW, SNAPPP, SNAPP POW, SNAP SNAP***.
* In the P the expression "2 inch-duals" is as endeared as "buck camp", "swampers" and "pasties" and when it hits the ears of a yooper it starts a warm tingly sensation in the heart, skipping the brain entirely, in an atypical function of the nervous system. Unfortunately it doesn't translate as easy as other terms in the U.P. lexicon and is the source of much confusion. You see, "2 inch-duals" doesn't mean two-2"-dual-exhaust-pipes, it means two-1"-exhaust-pipes, thus the hyphenation.
** any conversation about loud vehicles requires at least one yooper to legitimize the discussion as a true symposium on "gettin' more torque outta dat shortblock wit da right pipes"
*** To hear this sound just drive to any bowling alley or the town of Ironwood or Negaunee on Saturday night and roll down your window.
