Neat to see.
I love how the driver goes to move the seat forward by first searching for the button on the side of the seat - and then realizing it's a manual adjustment.

Noisy video.
The car is impressive that's for sure. After boost, you do hear the waste gate open and flutter at the intake filter, but no "metallic" sound. At least not on mine.

Yes, a lot of noise. Sounds like creaking inside. The turbo "whine" is more defined if you have the window down. I always drive mine with the window a little down, sounds better. lol

Re: 1989 Turbo TransAm FPV test drive review
I thought its the west gate.Most cars here have turbos but I never heard anything like that...but then again the turbo on that car is the size of the entire engine bay from most cars here 
@kymmee
It sounds really good.It makes the car even more aggressive than it already is .
