How big are the speakers and amp to make a SOUND so it will be  legal!  :evil:  Will that drain limit the top speed?  :?

Sparky, i guess you haven't been at the line when Eva leaves on a run.  If you were you could then hear her saying "Vroom, VROoom, VROOMMM!!!" louder and louder as she gets under way.  :-D
