She sounds good. Takes me back to being a 5yr old again

[@x977]

Great sound, every shift was pure bliss, lovely! That takeoff at the end gave me goosebumps, so good!

[@donaldjbiden]

Nothing like those old buses and Detroits!!

Growing up in the 70s and riding Greyhound frequently, this was the sound I absolutely loved and couldn't get enough of. 😌 I bought an MCI 96-A3 a few years back and couldn't wait to get behind the wheel for my trip from Virginia to California. The coach was SUPPOSED to have the 8V-92T. Imagine my disappointment when I opened up the engine bay to find a 6V-92T in its place! 🥴 Well, I had come too far to jettison the deal (I got a GREAT deal on it) so I took delivery of it and left. Absolutely the greatest solo road trip of my life! 😌 Probably due to the 6V, I spent less than $900 for fuel to go over 2,000 miles without any issues (other than losing one of the batteries). But yeah, I'd RATHER have the 8V.

A real engine on a real bus. I enjoyed driving these!

[@L-Taraval]

Awesome! Sounds like the driver is holding/manually upshifting the transmission from 2 to 3 to 4 which is the way I also drove the 740/750-series transmissions too! That prevented unwanted up/downshifts and hunting between gears.

Probably one of the best 8V71 engines I've heard in a very long time. STRONG!!
