I saw one around 6:30 tonite coming onto Alma from University. Black with red graphics all over it. Who's is it?

I almost ran into it as it came onto alma thru the circle. I said **** am I on a race track or what? What's this beast doing here?

that's the weird thing. i immediately roll down my windows after i motion for him to pull infront of me. i expected to get my windshield shattered by his exhaust but it was just a low rumble, not BLAAAAHHHH.

not sure if it's a poser or the real thing with a switchable exhaust.

That WAS Luis. I saw his face briefly and it looked like Luis but the car didn't sound like his. Did he tie a knot with his straight pipes or something?

Luis must have done something to his exhaust. If he was indeed in Palo Alto, NO WAY would he not get pulled over.

His car sounds sick for the track but for the streets it's just too loud, annoying and abnoxious. Sorry Luis, just my opinion. But I love it for the highway and track.

I had quite fun chatting last week when I met up with him at the burlingame ave starbux...and wow, it really is a site seeing his race prepped car pull up in traffic, decked out in slicks nonetheless

He explained to me that he has quite a collection of exhaust setups for the car depending on his requirements, needing only a few hrs to bolt a different one on.

Eisemann was debuting a new exhaust line at SEMA - electronic gates that would bypass the cats and mufflers for the track, but with the flip of a switch would route everything back to normal. That would be the ideal setup - all titanium too so the weight was low.

I think the price was around $15K for the system though

I see. Did he show you his setups in his aluminum luggage case?

I wouldn't be talking if I were u, Fred. Yours is WAY UP THERE too

But when his is next to yours then you're right, his is 5db more obnoxious

Collin,
That's one of our customers that lives in the area. It's a black GT3 that is pretty much stock for now. If you run in to him again, you'll start to see changes to the car.

That wasn't Luis's car then?

No wonder it's so quiet...
