He, Hiscox is on a couple of my company's commercial insurance programs - had I known they engage in this kind of studies I might have offered to test drive a few of their cars.. ( but not the Polo ) <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



As for how such high levels of testosterone was discovered in the womens' saliva, I'll leave that alone before I get banned from this forum.. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rolleyes.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



The Maserati's initial exhaust note ( first five seconds or so ) sounded like a 4cyl Fiat with a head cold <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> , but then it

thankfully improved .. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



Very nice, but I'd still take my BB catback exhaust note ( even on the 968 ) over any of those high pitched tunes.. ala Ferrari, Lambos, Carerra GT, and the likes.. but let me hear a DB9, or a Mustang Boss exhaust sound, and that's just pure symphony to my ears.. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

I remember eating lunch with work colleague about 5 years ago- we were outside at your local Fridays / Rubys / Whatever, and there was a hot rod show that night (Friday)... As we're scarfing down our sammies, I hear this incredible rumble that honestly shook the ground. A few seconds later (seriously), a Pantera GTS rolls down the street next to the joint heading for the intersection. It couldn't have been doing more than 15mph. It was, by far, the most incredible sounding car I have ever heard. Even if its top speed were only 25mph for some crazy reason, the sound alone would have been enough to clear the way of anyone foolish enough to step up. I wish I could hear that car again.... I think I forgot to finish my meal because I was literally in shock!

I was in Stuttgart, Germany back in 1974, walking around downtown one day and heard this unbelievable rumble coming down the street. Soon appeared a Pantera...it was, without doubt, the baddest sounding vehicle this side of an F-14 on afterburner I've ever heard!

Pantera - wow, I haven't seen (or heard) one of these cars in about 20 years. I remember how awesome (if flawed) they were in their day. I wonder how many are still running...
