A Cleveland has a great sound at speed. The Webers sound weird on them from a distance. They tend to whistle. The driver doesn't hear it but onlookers notice it.
I first had them on my 68 GT350 and was ducted through the built in hood scoop.
That thing you could hear whistling from 1/4 mile a way.
There is one angle on the Pantera in which you can hear the Webers whistling. From the 3/4 rear side view.
Once you are behind it, you tend to just hear the exhausts.
As a driver, the cabin is calm and quiet. Very strange combination.
With the windows down and at a certain speed and rpm you can hear them though.
I was once walking about 20 feet behind a GT40 at the track and just as I crossed behind it the driver reved the engine and the exhaust wave knocked off my cap...from 20 feet.
My Pantera does the same thing.
