      yeah, because chain drive was futuristic technology by the 60's

      If it's got tits or tires, it's gonna cost ya!

        I'm pretty sure he just meant it was different? But hey, I don't know everything.

            It was meant tongue-in-cheek, but it's still a cool feature alongside everything else that was fairly revolutionary.

              Sounds amazingly like a smaller version of the V10 F1 engines - the Williams revving to 19000RPM was awesome (even though Ferrari obviously dominated that period).

                        I believe it would sound like clattering broken metal.

                          Naaahhhh, it would probably sound normal, then wicked, then insane, then like the devil on crack gargling gasoline, then make loud bang then be quiet in record time...
