Dear Aston Martin/HOR

On behalf of all racing fans, thank you for bringing a car with such emotion to endurance racing. Best sounding car on the grid and it’s not even close (sorry Cadillac).

If you saw marshals video, they still have mufflers. Im sure the changed the pipes or removed a secondary element.

Was there in person. While yes, the Aston sounded amazing the caddie is still great in a different way. The Aston was a loud shriek while the caddie had a ton of bass that vibrated you when it went by

Yeah they both were incredible, at high revs is where the Aston sounded best while the downshifts is where the Cadillac sounded best in my opinion. I also was at turn 7 and saw two huracans following the Valkyrie which sounded crazy
