You guys do realize that carbed cars used to create the popping sounds on over-run. Then computerized FI eliminated that because it could completely cut fuel, but people love it, so they have started injecting fuel back into the motor on over-run just to create that sound.

I think the 991 and 981 cars, or maybe just the S versions or the versions with sport exhaust or sport plus mode or something like that have started doing it again. Many folks like it and miss it.

Here's a 917 doing it
