Good question, noise or speed. I guess it's like the guy who has the nicest set of guns in the world. He takes them out, cleans them, rubs the metal until they shine just right and puts it back in the cabinet. With my T-Bucket it's kind of the same thing. I like to have the power whether or not I use it or not. I suspect it's a pride thing. T-Buckets being what they are most owners never have them over 50 or so due to those front wheels shaking. But, as I said to the other fellow, it's that first 2-3 minutes pulling in when all eyes are on you and everyone is listening to your roadster. I want it to sound as bad ass as it looks. I am going to try and find out how to post a picture so I can show the T-Bucket to everyone. Then you good folks can see what I'm talking about.
