exactly why i run dual springs. it will save your ass. had one break on the LS1 #1 or 2 in the camaro.
for our high lift cams they actually recommend replacing them every ~10,000 miles. before they fail from the high ramp rates and lift.

Just take a look at Argentine race car driver Pablo Pérez Companc's $8 million Miami condo. He decided to use a Pagani Zonda R as a room divider. Only 15 Zonda Rs were ever made.
The Zonda R was placed in the 4,200 square-foot condo by Artefacto Home Staging. A crane was used to hoist the car into the building. It's held in place by an aluminum and carbon-fiber stand.

Nice car, but IMHO the sound are not "throaty" enough, not a fan of force feeding a street car.
I want something that make windows 1/4 mile down the street shake to announce my imminent arrival.
From the factory of course, making your car loud after market are so poser like.

Don't care for the front end at all.

Making your car loud because you need a freer flowing exhaust for performance gains is fine. Making it loud just to make noise is the definition of poser.

That one's been debated to death for decades. These days, people are so oblivious to everything that I'm honestly not sure it would help. But, rolling by the snob restaraunt in the old part of town and setting off car alarms with a good BRAAAAAP on the sumo was always fun though. If you're making any power gains on a single cylinder four stroke, noise comes with it, no way around it. The California eliminator kit + cams netted me over a 30% power increase.

"freer flowing exhaust for performance gains is fine"


Thats mostly not why people have loud cars here, besides you are not allowed to increase the power of your engine by more than a few %, and it would be stupid to do as a car must be inspected every 2 years here, so unless you have a inspection place you can bribe, then you have to swap the motor every 2 years for inspection.
Same go for ride height, and really you be hard pressed to legally fit wider wheels on your car too.

Most people put on a noisy exhaust to be loud / smart, and really when i see hear it i just go " dumb ass " and shake my head.



Breathing are still allowed here, but i fear it will be hit with a severe tax soon

And twiddling your thumbs are just about as much fun as you can legally have here.

I'm torn. Part of me is thinking "That's ****ing baller right there!" and the other half of me is thinking "That poor Zonda R deserves to be driven!" But, let's be honest, almost nobody will drive the Zonda Rs anyway because they are so rare and are ultimately collectors cars and investments.

Again, you share a post that makes me realize I'll never have enough money!

I'm a Chevy guy, but this is so sexy and there's so much want! I wonder why they gave it a cross plane crank instead of a flat plane crank though. The GT350 is still the sexiest sounding Mustang. Too bad that engine is plagued with issues (probably because Ford! ). Hope they get that fixed.

The 7 speed dual clutch transmission is nice to see them pushing the envelope. I’m with you, I thought it sounded sexy af. Forced induction is too efficient and powerful not to appreciate it. This pony is going to straight up haul a$$ too
