Don't Want No Stinking Unnecessary Exhaust Sound
"Conditions are right" means:
1. no oncoming traffic (could be cops)
2. straight roads only
3. no high-speed drivebys of residences or driveways.
RESULT:
Lots of QUICK accelerations and braking. Engine was getting an upshift, downshift, wild-throttle workout (yeah baby! yeah!).
Made me wonder (yet again) why anybody would want this car to be _louder_?!?!?!
Driving like a "maniac" (according to Porsche-hating witnesses) on otherwise quiet rural roadways would only be MORE observable if the TT exhaust were louder.
So..., I am extremely thankful that this car is "quiet."
I guess I'm a 40-something mature guy who no longer needs the "vroom vroom" sound effects that add nothing to performance except the illusion that you're driving like a nut case.
Would be NICE to have that extra sensation, no doubt about it! But do you guys who complain about the TT's "lack of exhaust note" really think it thru?
Just wondering..., not trying to criticize anybody for their "want-it-louder" or "enhanced exhaust note" preferences.
