from the video footage ive seen, the note of this V8 reminds me of the F355's - just quieter. what a sucky sound.

The best one we had was Legends of Motorsport
But I digress..
I want one, but may wait for the sedan.

Its arguable but I do feel it has a (subdued) resemblance to the 355 at the higher revs.
