The sound that your hearing that sounds like the BOV might be the Shocks and the suspension set up. (Its nothing bad). Check out some videos of out and inside car shots and compare the sound to where they are on the course. Its more easyer to catch when they slow down for a turn than at WOT.

Sometimes I think the trannys make a little bit different noise when they slow down for courners, but then again it still sounds like a full out race tranny. hmm.......

Also do a search on here for a video from when Peter Solberg won the WRC back in 2003. They do some explaining about the car and how some of the set up is different then what you usually see.

I think I am the only one to say that I do not prefer that sound. I like the deep rumble sort of sound...just me though

Yeah. Prodrive will build you one, but you have to sign a paper saying that you will only drive the car on Rallies and non Highway events.... which sucks IMO.

The final leg is due in one hour , a super special in Monaco , Loed is the leader with more than 30 sec on D. Sordo , then comes Grönholm . Atkinson is 5th and Solberg 6th .

Speed doesnt Carry WRC anymore They like there circle loving NASCAR tomuch to care about a real racing series!

Prodrive will build you a Group N Rally car to the tune of 90-100k (in British) which is 177642.04-197380.04 (American) and is ready to compete internationaly. So if you had the extra $200,000 sitting around to buy a group N rally car you could get one. Now if you wanted the All out WRC like Solberg drives, it might cost you over $500,000 and thats if they will build that spec out to private investors. I think they might but you would have to contact Prodrive yourself to find out the better details.

The only way to get Rally is on Rally Radio though WRC.com I paid for the full year for WRC+ so I could get my rally Fix (Videos, rally radio, live stage times, etc) I think its worth it!
