How fine it is, that they have chosen to make the 05's really sound like old rally cars! Its especially nice if you get to WOT in 2nd or so, and then let off a bit for a nice tight corner!
On the overrun you can imagine Monte Carlo, sliding past the cheering fans!!!
It's not really a bees-in-a-can exhaust, its just a bit more free flowing, and the popping occurs more because of the rich fuel/air mixture that MINI's tend to run...or so I was told.
Cheers!
