Yeah, I saw a local story on that (I'm an Aussie). It raises more questions: a) what about the louder V8?, b) what about the earlier V6s?, c) is that how few 2019-20 models are in the country?

 

What?

 

Only one way they will ever get their hands on my V6 for this modification - pry it from my cold dead fingers!

 

Well that settles one debate, the v6 does sound better.
The lord works in mysterious ways, those he deprives of headroom he gives more grunt.

 

So does this top California in terms of regulation? Not sure I would have ever see the day someone else would top us.

 

Here in South Oz we have topped you Kookifornians for regulations ensuring the world's most expensive and unreliable electricity supply for going on 20 years now!

 

Expensive? Just wait til they force everyone to buy a nice and quiet 600,000W EV. Zero emissions sounds like a lot of emissions.

 

And that says a lot given our recent incidents with PG&E.

 

There is unlikely to be Australia-only version of the car or new hardware exhaust design, this means worldwide reduction in sound via software patch or F-type V6 discontinued in Australia.

Also, some conservative government... I don't think they are doing small government right down there.

 

They can do locale specific software updates.

 

I've been watching some of the Aussie Highway patrol videos and wow they are awful, I'd hate to live in Australia the cops are d*ckheads who go out of there way to ruin peoples day, getting people for everything. Bunch of corrupt a**holes. Recalling car for a factory exhaust, ridiculous. I wonder what happens if you don't do the recall.

 

Because global warming.

 

Of course, the Aussies are opening up more coal mines to help with that.

 

It is all good if coal is used to charge electric cars. Also, nuclear energy is bad, because HBO show on Chernobyl was really scary.

 

It's the exciting exhaust note that causes the warming, that's why its illegal. Exciting the air molecules causes more friction and soon the globe's temperature spirals out of control.

Has anyone asked why the government has decided, without adult supervision, why cars need to be quieter all of the sudden? You know whats loud? Sirens. Those need to be banned outright. Rock concerts, too. Let's outlaw everything that makes noise. Babies are too loud, lets ban them first.

 

You have my vote if you run on this platform.

 

SAdly, we're kin. They've got the unreal fires as well. Good luck and stay safe over there.
But one thing, and it's not just the massive array of wildly venomous creatures that make you need to be on the lookout, but I believe Aussies know how to "do" things that our normal California mentality of "call the mechanic".
Joe Rogan has a great joke about what you do when the power goes out... "What I do? I sit, and I wait". But at least we're now getting smarter about preparation, vs just having some water available for the next earthquake.
Lucky I have a preparedness and flashlight fetish. My camping days seem behind me, but that gear comes in super handy.

 

The government official who submitted this bill (or whatever) doesn't live next to a V8. Prolly doesn't know it exists. LOL

 

Amen
