Engine Starter - mod question
I noticed that Lamborghini's have a wildly different starter engagement sound. It resembles the starter sound you typically hear from a 4-stroke 4-cylinder sport bike. Does anyone know why they sound like that (a high pitched WHIRRR WHIRR WHIRR) and how we could get one for the Mustang?
Here's an example of a Lamborghini Gallardo starting up:

Geared starter. This allows you to use a smaller, more compact (and usually lighter) starter motor but gear it down so there is enough torque applied to the ring gear to spin over the car. That Lambo starter DEFINITELY had enough ***** to spin over that engine!
I don't know if anyone is making a geared starter for the Mod motors, but then you don't hear a lot of stores about the starter not being powerful enough to spin over the engine either. I really doubt anyone would make a geared starter for these cars simply because it sounds cool.
And it DOES sound cool!

Hum. Look what I came across while browsing for parts for our car at Summit Racing:

Light weight geared (3:1 reduction) starter. They claim it will fit the 3 valve if you have an automatic... It could be yours for the low low price of $382 bucks.
