1.4 Supersport - do they all sound like this?

[ghibbett]

i.e. Sound this good? Fantastic induction noise. Like a mini M3 CSL.

Yup pretty much what mine sounds like.

I like that, sounds very nice emmm!

So why does it sound so much 'fruitier' than the 1.6k?

Superb, actually more like heavenly for me (I've never been in a 7).

Here is mine four years back - 'ring GP

The sound quality isn't quite as good as on the clip first posted, but I still think it sounds nice. The big difference is that the ltd edition 1400SS has the close ratio 6 speed gearbox, whilst mine at the time had the 5 speed (effectively a 3 speed on track!).

Thanks, Dave

1400SS has a bespoke designed alluminium plenum with a forwarded facing throttle body, completely different than 1600/1800 variants.

Many also received an external 4 into 1 exhaust, which was free flowing compared to the internal, standard type.

Also just found this beauty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npZbTpj69nI

Think it's a 1.6k SS, but sounds great all the same. Best bit is the acceleration out of the junction around 0:50. Sounds great! Also, is it a six-speeder, as the ratios sound very close from 1st to 4th?
