If you were selling that car, and I didn't know about the oil issue we're now discussing, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

It sounds great, seems to run evenly (though the idle is higher than where I would set it) and, even assuming the background in the video is masking some of the exhaust, that's not smoking by my definition.
