You have the quietest cabin. Must be a pleasure to cruise in.

I have a straight through exhaust with test pipes as well. Just goes to show how quiet these cars are. I do have drone that I need to address though.

The car sounds pretty good. With straight through and test pipes I would think that you will always have drone.

As a for info only, what revs were your shift points, evidently and sensibly you didn't hang it out to dry.

I rolled into it off the line as too much too soon just invites wheel spin. I left it in D with sport mode off (I figured the softer shocks would help with weight transfer), and I let the computer shift for me. With the STRs it short shifts first, then I believe it goes to 6500 for the rest of the gears. Next time I need to have the camera point at the tach as well.

I think you will find it shorts the 2-3 shift a bit as well. Not as bad as 1-2, though.
