That sounds GREAT on the outside, but I would like to hear more in-car audio if possible.

It will be interesting to read about what Fred thinks after a week or two of city/highway driving...ie. will it sound better after break-in? any resonances? does Fred still have hearing?....

Fred's has the "gills" on the side windows and I'm sure he'll let us know but I actually didn't think it was too bad inside

Hi everyone and yes I still have my hearing

I still can't get over the fact of how sick the car sounds!!!! It truely in intoxicating and I've never had a car sound sooo good!

From a performance perspective I feel the car has a little more pull and better throttle response but not drastic. I think it's going to be really hard to get more power out of this car.

As for sound inside its really not bad at all and not much resonance in fact. Keep in mind I also have the rear side windows removed and I'm not complaining.

On the outside, you simply have to hear it in person. I have everyone coming next to my car telling my how sick it sounds. I even had a guy follow me home. He was in an audi A4 so I was like WTF. Happens he owns a black/orange GT3RS and wanted to know how to make his car sound like that. Of course I sent him to 6speed and Sharkwerks

Once you get over 6K rpms the car just screams Cup Car!!! What I love most as well is that you have a high pitch sound at high rpms and when you shift at lower rpms it's got a nice throaty sound with LOTS of backfiring!!!

I'll try to take more videos shortly. Can't wait to drive the car tomorrow!!

My god Fred, you have no idea how many times iv'e listened to this video today.. I think resonance and loudness only gets annoying in SOME cars hah.. When its a Lambo/Ferrari or something so exotic sounding like your GT3RS, I think it becomes more intoxicating then annoying like straight pipes on a 996TT...

I can't get over how insane it is, I want your car more then anything right now!!

If this was my car, I think I'd probably drive it nonstop and sleep in it.

Fred, How many miles on the "Petfrog" now? Did you do the suggested break-in miles or just let her rip? Thanks in advance. Kenny
