So the transmission is why the fishbowls sounded different from the Flx. 9000's? Someone had suggested this to me before. I know the 9000's and some SI exp. Blitz's sounded more like the 1981 and 1983 RTS's. The difference in sound is mainly in the acceleration. The pitch of the Flx.& RTS engines reached peak more gradually than the fishbowls, which seemed to reach peak as soon as it moved. I guess the gear shiftng might have something to do with it also?
