Thats a high-revving V8... I don't think I've ever seen/heard a V8 taching up that high on a streetable car. Might sound pretty sick.

I would love to hear that thing tach out!!

I wouldn't mind seeing a hood like that available for us though. I really like how the scoop looks like it just landed and impaled the hood. lol
