If I may be so bold
as to compare this vid with the one we saw recently of an R1200S at Daytona, where the maker had the mosh pit head banger screaming some sort of noise so that we couldn't hear the music of the bike. Remember that? And now this. How simply wonderful and well done. I want to hear the Ferrari or the BMW or the whatever sing....not some idiot on crack scream. Well done Shell, and Ferrari. And thanks for sending it to us Sergio.

Bob, that's funny.......Crack fueled mosh pit head bangers.
Sometimes I keep a Marshall stack here in the office just in case I encounter one of them and have to defend myself. Did you enjoy the immaculately attired, screaming, antique material, pretty faced lady entertainers MOA forced on us last year in the rain ? Most of the tent did in spite of the lameness of it all. There's just no accounting for taste and I'm an accountant. Keep up the good work. geo

I missed that vid of the R12S at Daytona but if it was drowned out by music, then yeah, what's the point?

Nice. Watched it four times.
Why do the new F1 cars scream the way they do vs. the older ones (which sound like an actual automobile engine)? Is it just higher rpms?

I think so....18,000 rpm equals scream. Have you heard those engines play a tune? Hilarious and delightful.

Boy, I miss the F1 races at the Glen, Bernie should have found something else to screw up.
 I have a Honda CBR600F3 that has a short D&D pipe on it and it sounds as close to an F1 car as anything I have heard in recent years, ear splitting when you rev it in the barn
