Default Best Thing About Ya Cossie

What do you thinks the best part about your car?

I think like many others on here I love the cossie engine, pretty basic strong, well designed, loads of power and so easily tunable!

Or

Do you just love the pure mental acceleration you get whilst driving?

The burble on tick over
The roar of it on full boost going down the road
The feel of the torque putting you in the seat when the turbo cuts in
The shape/look of it
