Hows THAT for a comparision?
Very well said!

I told him that Jas......but I don't think hes going to listen. To his own detriment! The 16M is bordering on obnoxious.......in a good way!

drive the 16M and then decide if you want one

here are some comments taken from Topgear Magazine after they test drove the 16M in the August edition;

"Perhaps it's the human reaction to the noise the Scud 16M makes-say, through a long tunnel-that matters more. First , every hair on your neck and everywhere else stands on end. Slight shock becomes fairly intense shock soon after, when you get a full idea of just how loud this car is at maximum revs, with the exhaust baffles fully open and the V8 really screaming."

"It's such an extreme sensation, it brings up the question of whether or not cars can be too extreme, and whether pushing the boundaries of what a person can handle is a good or bad thing."

"Its intense this Scud. There is very little compromise for comfort here, and it is at the limit of beng too much in a rush, too intense, especially when the baffles open on the exhaust and let the roar straight through."

you get the picture
