What a GS 450h sounds like with an exhaust....vids
I do admit I LOVE the silence of this car. My father calls it a ninja, it just sneaks up on you and kills you in a race 
. Its very quiet sometimes, especially in electric only mode. I've been reading up on adding exhausts mostly on PriusChat and the benefits/negatives of it. To me it didn't make much sense the more I thought of it.
Well I was searching on MYIS.net and found these.

You can see the other vids to the right. The CVT just kills it
No exhaust for me. Sounds like those Nissans/Infinitis with the V-6 and the car sounds like a goat going through labor laying on glass.

Body styling is different compared to the one raced by Lexus SARD in Japan.
I would love to see action footages of the 1st GS450h racecar in the Tokachi 24-hour endurance race in Japan... Anyone out there with more pics, or vids.....one mean looking beast!

With the CVT it sounds like a constant drone b/c of the constant gearing.
