In reality, to get the real crack-crack-crack of the lumpy cams in an S197 you're going to need an off-road and very loud exhaust setup.
Granted.. I haven't heard my car yet with a good tune but it's not going to be (and I don't want it to be) hella loud. I just killed the nasty trumpet of an off-road setup with my catted mid-pipe and don't plan on going back anytime soon. Sooo, you may not be that impressed with my idle. I do have an off-road pipe in the garage and my be inclined to put it back on just to hear. If I do, I'll video the sound.
Don't worry though, I plan to recruit a friend to get some idle and acceleration vids this weekend so you'll hear what I got.

Damn straight! LOL
I'd love to see reactions on people's faces when driving down mopac every day with that.
Every time I watch that video (I first saw it over a year ago) it makes me want to buy a vette.

hahaha! driving down mopac in that car. a bunch of hippies in their hybrid's would probably hem you in, drag you out of the car and proceed to do a public lynching .
I got enough dirty looks with my off-road setup!
