Lemme guess...the Acura had those auful fart cans that make the car sound like a kazoo??? LOL
The exhaust was fairly good size, I noticed it as I rolled up to the light. Couldn't tell you what it sounded like because 1) My stereo overpoewers all outside noise and 2) I was laughing so damn hard cause the guy got flustered and bobbled his shift from 2nd to 3rd so badly that his car lurched. The reason for his getting flustered??
The afore mentioned 3.8L V6 (same engine as what is in the 2001 Ford Windstar Van) and the heavy-metal-blaring stereo are all contained in a '93 Taurus 4 door wagon. My last ticket I got clocked doing 20 over uphill and I was gaining speed.(60+ in a 40 zone) I had just hit the Overdrive when I saw the Motorcycle Cops lights in my rear-view.
So yeah, I take great pleasure in embarassing guys in their farting imports. When a "soccer-moms" car can out run and out manuver "performance" cars it shoots their egos all to hell.
I can totally understand why Iron-Man would need the extra jet mode. It's not so much about the speed, it's the sheer entertainment value.
