Not being sarcastic, but put your car in Sport mode. Get a flashlight and look into the end of the exhaust at the butterfly valve. It is wide open on my car in Sport mode. When I put my car in any other mode except Track, it is not wide open (and has less sound). In Track, the valve doesn't...

Cost and price are two completely different things. The manufacturer that doesn't know their costs WILL go out of business sooner or later. Pricing is an entirely different subject. It is usually what the market will bear as long as acceptable margins have been met. Beyond that, the...

This video is not completely accurate. The valve can't open any more from Sport mode. It is wide open in Sport and you can see it if you look into to exhaust with a little flashlight. To move it either way closes the valve from wide open, hence my question. Yet, in Track mode, there is...

I can't envision me arguing with anyone about me having a material thing that they have. Again, it's a moot point for me because GM and I will never do business again.

Exactly. Some car manufacturers, for some cars, make you sign things to the effect that you will keep the car for a period of time and you will not be marking up what you paid for it anytime soon then selling it quick, to keep the speculators out. Jay Leno gets what he wants because he is Jay...

We aren't on the same page. When I buy a car, I don't even acknowledge MSRP. Once you do that, you just lost some negotiating power. It is about what I pay for the car. A manufacturer can "charge" anything they want. I only pay what I want or walk. I won't ever be buying another GM...

It definitely will. Track Mode is pretty quiet if you're keeping your speed constant and your foot out of it, but get near someone and it will definitely wake them up if you put your foot in it, LOL! I just did some town driving in track mode and it can be rather fun! I noticed people stay...

Uh, I like podcasts. I also like to hear my car. The car wants proper attention......:rockon:

Crunched hoods don't look very aggressive after hitting the barrier wall head on at 65mph. Been there, done that with "redneck leave the scene" help.

No, sadly. One has to have been there when GTO's, SS396's, and real Chrysler 440's and Hemi's came out. That was the real beginning. Newbies need a damned computer to find the "go button". Nothing like an SS396 with open headers and drag slicks jumping off the line. Then there were the...

I didn't know ANYBODY had never heard of Chuck Berry. He CREATED Rock and Roll. Look up Chuck Berry and Tina Turner LIVE AT THE THE ROXY. It's addicting..

Nobody will buy one that knows what a muscle car is. Simple. The march to bankruptcy continues with the EPA hand in hand.

It isn't what I paid, not by a long shot.

Raiti's Rides has a YouTube out on one. Looks like a box again and sounds like baby farts.

To answer your "real question", I doubt it and think it would make a little more noise than an AE in quiet mode. I had mine in quiet mode for a few miles this morning and the engine and exhaust just make noise. It's a 486 HP (mine is), V8. It isn't going to sound like a Honda Civic but quiet...

Some of it is good reading. It's also sitting on my coffee table. Yes, I'm a caveman, tree wasting, owner's manual reader that drives a petroleum fueled automobile that is going to kill all of us because it is creating the ozone hole (remember that?) and changing the climate.

$1995 for destination fee.....that's funny.

Speaking of Dads, mine bought a new 420hp Mustang when they came out when he was 86 y.o. and it just puttered around town all the time. I asked if he ever went on the highway with it or ever "blew it out"........"Nah, it's OK but let's do it". We did, I stomped it to 140 and he absolutely...

They're Dodges, owned by Stellantis who is looking for a new CEO because they are having serious financial issues. Not a place where I would spend money but Ford and everybody else needs competition. Lots of HP from a six cylinder but inline sixes have their good attributes. Glad they'e...

I must have a different car but mine always starts in sport mode. It stays there because I guess it got tired of me putting it there. I dunno.
