If you don 't know who Pol Tarres is, he does this shit on a heavily modded Yamaha Tenere 700 while everyone else is out there on their little 220-240lb dirt bikes.

I suppose the sound is subjective. Sounds like an overamplified sewing machine to me.

No idea, I don't really follow that much about this car, I know it has been around for quite a while. I followed his twin turbo 26b MX-5 build for a while. I think that that thing made over 1000hp on like 10psi.

Yeah, I have a lot of friends that hear it and think it's cute lol. I really enjoy high revving engines, that wail is what I prefer.
