Based on videos I've heard back to back with stock, I highly doubt that would meet noise regs!

They actually said in a Hagerty article that they went through 40+ iterations of the exhaust to find the perfect tone.

I've been pleasantly surprised by how many people are positively geeked out by seeing one here in Silicon Valley (I've only seen like 6 others ever so they're quite rare here). My other car is a red Lotus Elise, which gets a ton of attention (all positive) but simply because it's a microscopic...

Totally this, plus the fact that manual sports sedans these days are a lot harder to find than manual sports cars in the C7's era.

No noises at 19k on my '23 aside from the trunk lid creaking a little while opening.

I just got the latest issue of Car and Driver, and they had brief bit on the best American cars of all time. I don't know why it uploads sideways no matter how I rotate it, so you'll have to tilt your head... It's a short sentence. And props to the 4BW, too.
