A very racy Esprit V8 in Dutch Supercar Challenge with the loudest and highest gearbox whine I have ever heard!
Warning to all dogs in locality! :p

Thats absolutly utterly insane!
Straight cut gears make a lot of noise at 8,000rpm though.

I want that tranny in my Camaro!!:p
It would probably be a subtle whine for the regular 2200rpm shifts for daily driving, and whoever you're racing would thing you have about 12 KB blowers under your hood:biggrin:
