Yes, I heard those Fina's and GULF's Longtails in Helsinki Sornainen GT1 raceweekend, I was there in saturday and sunday. The sound really have left deep in my heart, how loud, raw and brutal it truly is. Like I said, it felt trhought the seat on my back when it accelerated the small 2-3 gear straight to 2. gear corner, and then pushed almoust flat out a small straight, backed off and went around 3000rews past us and opened the loud pedal more and more open throught the corners when heading to final straight. I never forget that, and the LOOK how the Longtails looked.

Here's some clip from Helsinki, watch the part 1.22-> where JJ's coming the place where we sat. The lef-right seing from the helicopter...
You really catch the sound before turning left....

I still say, the F1 will be remaining to me one of the best supercars ever build, no matter how fast todays supercars are, the layout of F1 is so super special every angle when you look at it, out and inside. And the sound of that V12 makes it more than perfect.
