Sounds like that know how to make a Turbo feel like NA motor.

BMW should take it apart and reverse engineer it, 8k redline?

That's a very impressive lap time. No huge wings or crazy aggressive front splitter, just a lot of time in the wind tunnel. Can't wait till the Scuderia/Speciale model is out. I think it'll match (maybe beat) the P1 lap.. not the lap on Trofeos, tho.

But it still doesnt sound like a NA engine. The classic ferrari howl where you can almost hear the valves is not there.

But that got me thinking about koenigsegg freevalve technology (which is pretty awesome in itsself) and especially this video:

Where he explains at one point that they're testing with a turbo manifold where every other exhaustport goes to the turbo, mainly to eliminate a wastegate and its losses (its a video about performance), but that would also mean you end up with a turbo engine with NA sound, unmuffeled by the turbo (for half the valves at least)

I agree with this. I prefer the sound of the NA 458 over the 488, but the 488 does sound incredible. If you enjoy all the turbo noise in the background, it really is amazing.

I was just watching the 675LT leaderboard video and saw that the lap was done on Trofeo R tires. That tire has at least a 1 second lap time advantage.. LT also weighs almost 400 pounds less than the 488.

Not sure if this means the 488 is very good or the LT isnt.. since it almost matched the P1 time.. I think its the first.
