Actually racing cars tend to sound better *without* turbos -- an exhaust
turbocharger acts, to some degree, as a muffler, and damps those
wonderful engine notes.  The glorious scream of a nornally aspirated V10
turning 15,000 times a minute just can't be beat!

Looking forward to the Canadian GP in Montreal -- only one month to go!
