Tasman car sound?

First of all, well done to the Tasman boys for a great result.

I noticed in the shootout and every time the car went past in the race, that the engine sounds completely different to the other cars, Ford or Holden on the circuit. It almost sounds like a single seater - a more high tech howl instead of a growl... Well, no use me describing the sound, you either heard it or you didn't.

Was it just me?

great job by all the guys
Jason is a very underated driver, Jaime did a stella job
the input of a man like Harrop is a big advantage
maybe he has a new hi tech piece

Yeah, it's the Fusion sound system that they have that makes it sound so good!

Yes good call on Whincup, another of Garry Rogers " Rejects".


Great team effort by Tasman.


Craig Gore should consider looking into the workings of the Tasman Team, and then implement them as a business model at We Plow Sand !

Just maybe the bloke (Mr Storey) who actually made the call on the setup may have had more to do with it. Great job by Jason though in a situation where in the past he may well have thrown it away under pressure.

Superb job by Jason and Jamie and the Tasman team. I was yelling for a miracle but alas it was too hard to resist Mark S for too long, but at least Jason yielded and avoided any incident.
What a beautiful result for a great bunch of blokes

I think it's more a result of Neil "Part" Burns and his wealth of pushrod engine building skills that goes back as far (further?) than the Brock/HDT era.

They've built quite a team with Kevin Murphy, Ron Harrop, Burns, et al.

The only thing they have to do now is come up with a decent paint job. It is probably the worst looking car out there.

I remeber hearing the Brock cars when they had burns engines, they sounded so crisp and no oither car in the field was as high pitched or sounded as sweet.
