Wow... what a rush. Ok, I wasn't in the car and it wasn't on the road but still something to watch. Great sound!

For some reason I was thinking track and pro driver, then the piano hit me.
What did the dyno say?

Ah Germany :thumbsup


...still get that toe-curling moment when you blast past a police car at speed and wait for them to flip on the lights... but they don't :banana

no modifications due to possible loss of warranty!

Don't blast your car again until they have solved the EU exhaust problem :wink
We tracked our GT's at the EUROSPEEDWAY-Lausitzring monday night! Two GT's, one M5 and one Porsche GT3 - finally we had two very jealous guys at the end of the day :banana
Will post a video soon! The original exhaust is definitely louder even under full load than the EU moded one. If you stand next to the course while a GT passes by with 180miles, it sounds like a jet hits you! Increadible experience. Hope to see you next time joining us! Will give you a call :thumbsup

Desi,
So yours is the "Tungsten grey import"??.. ha ha ha. The all black 101-car looks very cool... But yours was still louder at full load??

Was it driving on the oval or the DTM track??

You are right, mine is puuuuuuure US - untouched as it should be incl EURO4 and with no EU toaster exhaust in the back :lol

We could drove both, as we have been on the track privately. The manager is a friend of ours... :thumbsup
