Engine Noise difference

[pattypape]

Jon,

Noise is hard to discribe and it is subjective,
With out using a DB noise meter.

So , My unscientific opinion:

It has been a long time since I drove or rode in a 210,
But my opinion is , the 300 Hp is quieter,
I feel the turbo helps cancel noises.
and mostly the air intake filter in located outside in the
passenger side bay under the front bumper.
Intakes on most motors transmit motor noise.

The insulation on the late model FC's 87,88,89 ,
is a thick blanket, It looks like heat shield blankets.
The Doghouse carpet and padding is thick and plush.
No trouble having a normal conversation with Patty the co-pilot.

The only person I know is Bob Janes , 87 FC Greenville , N.C.
He ownes both a 210NA and the 300 hp turbo.

Hope this helps,

Bill 88 FC Michigan
