    ok, that was actually pretty funny

     

    but on a more serious note, who knew pornstars could read?

     

    point of information, Jenna Haze and Sasha Grey are actually very smart people and very financially savvy.....Why I know this is beyond my comprehension but I know it

    WOW! Sounds like he got what was coming. New car on new stock tires, wet track, never got to get a feel for it....just jumped right in both feet first.....Oh well.....

    I hear he got a phone call right afterwards. It was Darwin and he said something about taking him and his car?

    Sounds like you could use some additional drive wheels..

    mechanical grip is very sparse at Mid Ohio in the wet.............the sealer, which is everywhere on line at almost every corner, becomes slippery like ice as soon as water touches it

     

    drive wheels wouldn't help THAT much there

     

     

    I love driving there in the wet...it's a major challenge

    to me, sound pipes and even this new speaker are kind of false advertising. it makes the car sound better. and to someone who doesn't know anything about this new(ish) sound technology, they would associate the sounds with performance. but fact is, if the exhaust and intake sounded like that on their own, the car would likely perform better (due to having less restrictive parts on the car).

     

    cliffs: these newer cars sound like they are performing better than they actually are.

     

    you mean specifically performing differently than they actually are, not forcibly better than they really are

     

    The thinh with cars nowadays is that the ones that have these synthesizer boxes for the most part are turbo cars that are meant to be sporty models. Look at the GTI and the F10 M5 (2012 model+), they have turbos, which muffle the engine note.

     

    Cars like the BRZ/FRS and the Mustang don't use a synth box because the engine is loud enough without a turbo to produce the desired effect without the box.........

     

    Sure there are special cases where some cars are so quiet regardless of aspiration type where the sound is simply played through the speakers. I know specifically 2 cars which do this.......

     

    But at the end of the ay, I don't think it's such a big deal since people who want the cars won't forego them for something as petty as noise generators or sound piping tubes.

    They can be defeated if desired and if they really annoy the owner....The tube in the FRS/BRZ or Mustang can be removed. The fuse can be pulled from the GTI or F10 M5.

     

    I've never decided to not buy a car because I can't hear the engine naturally...Have you?
