Sounds a bit too raw. I prefer the Murcielago's stock exhaust, sounds more refined.

Exhausts will sound different under load than they will just idling. Both thhe Carerra and the Murcielago have amazing sounds from their powerplants

I saw one in Scottsdale. I was waiting outside on the street for a table at a restaurant and a Carrera GT pulled up at the light outside the place. He saw everyone pointing....I think I was screaming like a little girl, so when the light turned green this dude went full throttle and floored it through 1st and 2nd gear. It was a trip. The exhaust on the car mad made the car seem like it was moving faster than the sound of the vehicle. I will never forget it. That thing looked like it would cost 400K, unlike the LFA (in my opinion)

Have you seen or heard LFA in real life before you start saying something like that?

CGT is no doubt one of my favorite cars, but I would argue LFA looks as exotic as CGT and sounds as good as CGT, if not better.

I can't take it any more, your little poking remarks, posting various threads with one agenda. Go and get a GTR just so I can call you cool.
