whats the point of having turbo's if you can't hear em?

I get having a quiet "exhaust" so you can hear the turbo's better but......

[Have seen a few 9sec turbo GNs out there like that and it just kills me in a good way, thing pulls up to the line and all you hear is the turbo and the tires doing the burn out, not a whipser from the muffler to ruin the sound of either ]

Now, if they could only make it stop looking like a millenial version of a Supra, they'd have something.

My guess is that it is due to government regulation. Just like safety, fuel mileage, and emission standards auto manufacturers are also required to meet noise standards.

As long as you can order those tires from the factory, I'd consider that STOCK, so I feel the 2012 version GTR is a badass car indeed! I'd buy one, mainly because it has superior traction over it's competitors, traction is the number one thing which kills in a race, the GTR doesn't suffer from that problem. Add more power to it and omg,.....talk about a consistent performer. But I'm still in love with Z06s and ZR1s.

2012 GTR is a beast! Only thing this car needs is a nice exhaust and they sound crazy!

If you need more turbo-whine i'm sure Switzer can set you up?

Viper ACR still has it, and thats the old one, cant wait to see the new changes in the Viper. And it could be ordered with the package, better looking and sounding car too. GTR is nice but I'll take a Viper any day over it.
