Per OP:

What exactly is the “dual mode exhaust” and is it worth it?

The strut tower brace is not standard on the vert and do you miss it?

Launch control, yes or no?

My street racing days ended in 2020 with a few covid (read: empty highway) runs, sorry. The quarter mile dragstrip closest to me is in Bristol, which is even farther from you if you're really in FL, and in all honesty I don't think I want to do 4.5-5 hour drives each way down to South Georgia for a few passes. If you have an alternative to suggest, please DM me.

Dual mode exhaust (option code NPP): the exhaust system has two different flow paths on each side, one muffled and one straight out. The two straight pipes (one left, one right) have electronically controlled valves that can open or close their corresponding unmuffled pipe.

Depending on exhaust mode, drive mode, rpm and throttle position, the ECM opens or closes the valves, which modulates the exhaust note: when the valves are closed, the muffled path is used, so the exhaust is quieter; when they're open, the non-muffled path is chosen, which results in a much louder and throatier sound.

The system is integrated into the infotainment and can be locked to a specific exhaust mode (stealth, tour, sport, track) or set up to automatically follow the selected drive mode.

In my opinion, NPP is 100% worth the price.

I’d have to brush up and look but there is an 1/8th local to me here in North AL and apparently a 1/4 in an area called Steele near central AL. That’s still probably about 3-4 though depending how east you are arpad.

1/8 isn't where my car with hardly any traction off the line but a ton of power up top can shine, though (No, I'm not putting on true drag radials just to stare at my broken driveshaft after the second or third pass.)

Steele, AL is 3 hours from Knoxville with no traffic, that's borderline doable. Let me check into their schedules, and thanks for the info
