Hell, I love it!
But I also love not being your neighbor.
Actually, no. That's not true. It'd be great if we were neighbors. Like Mr. Rogers!
I'd be creepy Mr. McFeely. Which, quite frankly now that I think back on it, is a rather unfortunate name for a character on a children's show.

You KNOW that was planned...
Dude, you really would love it here...like I said, all dead ends so our neighborhood is very tight knit. Bunch of young people moving in now at a similar stage in life...cool husband that loves craft beers, hot wife and a baby or two...we got our circles...
then my broski immediate neighbors that went to HS together...about 8 years older with kids, zoe loves them and they love Z...always offering to watch her. They were good to B and Z while I was gone, cutting the grass offering to remove shutters...they did a group outing to this italian restaurant...
If my garage door opens...we'll all walk over and say what's up...borrow tools, lend tools...bullshit, bitch about wives and lives...get texts if weird car pulls up to your house..like, sup...want me to kill em?
I love this place.

bro - it's sad... the car has sat since we took it to DC 3 wks ago... it's still dirty since it rained that whole weekend... i've been busy trying to find an architect to draft the addition for the house and find time to prep the Lex so i could put it up for sale... i'm too lazy to juggle 4 cars (with a 2 car wide driveway) in the morning to get the Vagon out of the garage... right now my wife calls it the garage trophy... i'm holding off on the cutouts because i don't have a good welder i can trust but it doesn't matter... i need finish the engine swap on the Spyder this winter before bambino 2 arrives and they start the addition...

Jesus Christ...
I'm a bitch...
only 3 cars...4 car wide driveway,
no addition plans
no engine swaps
only 1 baby and 1 wife
and I'm exhausted.
White is right, man...I'm mega jealous of the deal you got on a White Diamond. I let Majofo talk me into black by shaming me into being a car color racist.

Well, that certainly makes the math easy!

I won't lie...that was a huge fear for me too, JT...making the V, a really docile quiet perfect gentleman's car into an annoying cam shaking loud bitch.
So...that said, it is definitely just barely above OEM sound...but it's there...behind the car at startup, there's no denying it ain't stock. I have not had my wife drive by so I could hear from outside
but that's on the agenda.
I figure if I wanna be a dick, I can always do cutouts in addition to...my biggest fear was going too far away from comfort and quiet with exhaust and luckily, that didn't happen. They look fucking awesome with the black and chrome trim accents...they sound great at WOT (That's when you really hear this thing) and I got a killer deal on them. If I were doing it over again, I would likely go with sport, even if it's just nominally louder.

If I were doing it over again, I would likely go with sport, even if it's just nominally louder.
But then after I give it some thought I say to myself what for.... The car stock has 556HP, is fast as hell, not planning on tracking her (drag or autocross), and I have been doing my best to behave on the street, even when provoked. So why am I going to "F" around with my warranty and great running car.. Just to say I have XXXHP?? Funny, I never felt this way with previous cars I would do mods without giving it any thought. But this one I just feel different about, maybe because I have had her since new and of how rare they are..
. Yeah I know I have issues....LOLAnyway back to the exhaust. If I would have been offered a great deal on the Touring as you were, I would have bought it too. But since I will be buying either one new, I will likely (as you said) go with the Sport. I'm thinking this way because I think I will be more annoyed if I put on the Touring and its not that loud. Compared to if I put on the Sport and its a little louder than I expected.. If that makes sense..
Thanks for the insight..

JT4, almost positive I saw a coupe corsa for $600 on the facebook "CTSV VS THE WORLD" page in the last few weeks...at that price I'd go sport or touring!
but yes, I get what you're saying, man...they are rare, they are gorgeous, and they are fast enough as is! Why even tempt fate! Shit...just ordered the green filter for the airraid...not sure if I should bother, supposedly they are hard to fit into the box and honestly, how much faster do I need this thing.
I agree though, why make 600 to the wheels...it already puts you in license revoke, go to jail speed way too easily.
Jason...
You already know.

We need to meet up so you can compare the two sounds and I need to checkout that new street rocket of yours as well.

I'll just need a few days notice since the AMG is the wife's car, so she'd need to plan to take the Jeep or something so I can have access

You're like my boss...never satisfied!
For sure! I was at the track for a double-header this weekend but do not have any more races until Nov. 19/20th... so should be around
