GT40 in Lambo cruise

Here's a picture of my CAV with the Lambo guys. The CAVs exhaust/engine made me feel self-conscience and like I was around a bunch of stock Hondas while it was idling in this picture.

Re: GT40 in Lambo cruise

I go out with the Ferrari and Lambo boys here as well. Calgary is known for upgrades on exotic cars. So loud exhausts are fairly common place.

I do have one recommendation for CAV owners. Put on straight pipes. I just installed a new exhaust without the single muffler. WOW is it loud!! GLORIOUS exhaust note.

On the CAV I fabricated straight pipes and put them on. If I want the muffler setup, I just have to remove the straight pipes and install the muffler - 1 min.

But, so far all I want is the straight pipes. The sound transforms the experience.

Nothing beats bystanders bypassing a Ferrari or Lambo and taking pictures of your GT40.

GOD I love Gt40s.

Wink Re: GT40 in Lambo cruise

Hi Guys,

No doubt about it, as fabulous as the current exotics are, parked beside a GT40 it's no contest. On the road, same deal.

John, I hope you're OK with me posting a pic of you spanking a couple of prancing horses, of course we'll never say what the rolling start speed was

Cheers

Re: GT40 in Lambo cruise

No problem Ian.

Big italian exotic car population in Calgary. Having one of the of the only Gt40's up here make me unique in a town where 360's and F430's are almost as common as toyotas.

What everyone finds interesting is that this car still has such a fresh look after all these years - even among the new cars.

What we need is more GT40's.

Re: GT40 in Lambo cruise

Hi Roy,

I'll send pics but, it was easy on the CAV. Pull off the muffler/tip assembly and fab (2) exhaust pipe with tips connected with a 3/8" x member to keep everything aligned.

I will try to post a pic tomorrow.
