    db of Stock Exhaust?

    It is a shame but it is not the tracks that are causing the issues but the residents who live near them. What annoys me is that in Goodwoods case, the track has been there long before any of the current local residents - hence, complaining about the noise is like moving next to an airport and...

    db of Stock Exhaust?

    Neil, much appreciated. Goodwood is my local and therefore, I think they'll catch on if I tell them it is a new engine each time I'm there :wink Was the 105db with the allowance that they make for rear engine cars? I believe some tracks (again Goodwood) give -2 for rear engined cars. If Viper...

    Thank you. This is exactly my concern.

    db of Stock Exhaust?

    Has anyone had to put their stock GT through a noise test (for instance to participate in a track day)? I'm interested in what the db is at approximately 5,500-6,500 rpm I've done a search on the site but couldn't find a relevant thread. TIA

    1 of 101 - Nicola Hitchcock from Mandalay has a beautiful voice. They only made two full albums before the group disbanded (interesting pun that word). I would recommend you listen to (all by Mandalay): - Another Not Seventeen Like Her Deep Love This Life Too Much Room

    You'll find it hard to get a good view of the song based on a 15-30 second sample but if you like what you hear, drop me a PM. I also have a load more 'good' finds in a similar vein :thumbsup

    Do any of you guys remember Platinum Blonde? A Canadian band from the late 70's and early 80s? It Doesn't Really Matter And 1 of 101, if you like Royksopp, take a listen to Sigur Ros (Takk), Fragile State (The Facts & the Dreams and/or Voices From the Dust Bowl), Bliss (Quiet Letters)...

    0-60 and Quarter Mile Times

    A very interesting read is EVO magazines car of the year 2005 (Jan 2006 issue). They put the GT ahead of a Gallardo SE (so the late MY05/06 spec - with all the changes and added bhp) and infact, top of the pile for 2005. It makes a very good read and back issues can be ordered. Stats as tested...

    How so? In terms of his politics? If so, we don't get any of that over here, so I can seperate music from the individual with ease. Tunnel of Love is still a very well written album, as is Nebraska

    Okay, let's throw something less retro into the mix: - For Sunday morning drives, pick anything from a Jack Johnson record but if I had to pick just one, I'd opt for Good People off the In Between Dreams album. Nice and mellow and an CD without a bad song on it. Late night, with 'a' lady in...

    Cuda, who said that... was it Confucius, Plato or is it taken from Sun Tzu's, The Art of War ? I just can't place it! :confused Bony, as for you... as one HillBilly said to another, "If she ain't good enough for her own family, she ain't good enough for ours!" :biggrin AND CudaCharlie, you...

    got to love the internet

    AND for all you Bay Watch and NightRider fans... :biggrin Still don't know what to think about this one... I think even though there's a 'knowing wink' aspect to it, The Hoff is still missing out on the joke and that just makes it sad :rolleyes Still, it may give a few people some...
