F8 or STO?

Sound sucks?

 

Besides the 360 CS, have any others achieved keeper status? I’ve not heard of another 765LT owner who felt compelled to flip theirs because they didn’t like it. Curious what it was about the car that didn’t meet expectations? It can’t be because of sound because that wasn’t an unknown.

 

765 is a proper drivers car so a poser would struggle to live with it for sure.

Insofar as the sound of 765 goes, anyone complaining about it or putting it forward as any form of reason to sell pretty well sums up the owner sadly to say.

Btw out of curiosity did anyone ever get to see a picture of this 765??.... or, are we dealing with another one of those loaner type experiences/stories where the dealer loaned one out for a bit of a play around a block.

 

Come on man. Lay off Dusty. If he says he owned one, I belive him. This type of post is not necessary.

 

Im sure Dusty has owned the odd car or two - not questioning that. But i think under the current circumstances it would be fair and reasonable to say pictures or it doesn't exist. The only one I'm aware which has changed hands out here was by a guy with many other cars who was offered a tidy profit. He also had so many other incredible cars he probably didn't get much of a chance to drive it or didn't feel the need when the offer was made.

 

Very likely he Has too many cars to really spend time. But I don’t question that he bought it. If he says he bought it and sold it good enough by me. That wouldn’t apply to Many on this website.

Cause you know you gotta keep it REAL. Even a god like ZUES has NOONE1 that has s owned that many cars.

(see what I did there)

 

If you actually love driving I cannot fathom selling the 765. It ticks all the boxes like no other.

 

Frankly I couldn't give a toss what he owns as he wouldn't own anything long enough least of all drive it hard enough in the right environment to form any worthwhile conclusion. I just don't understand why anyone would bother continually spouting off on Fcht about cars they can't even hold on for a day or two, drawing upon sound as the main reason most the time as if its the only element in a car. He's basically saying to owners of these cars he is the higher authority who knows better/all. Kinda pathetic really....and reeks badly of attention seeker. IMHO of course!

 

I imagine the 765LT Spider will be equally if not more engaging. The sound with the rear window dropped could very well be automotive nirvana.

 

Gazing into my crystal ball I foresee Dusty buying a 765lt spider - because he can iykwim- only to sell it a week later, again spouting of on Fchat that sound was the deal breaker and key reason behind the sale. I mean we all need to know this right?

 

I get to start speccing next week I think. Already picked out our preliminary color. Gonna be dialing in everything else soon.

 

Keep! What a great example.

 

I’m interested to know if any new colours will be launched with the Spider and whether there will be any surprise changes to the bodywork. Am also inquiring to confirm that there will be no changes to the exhaust system, sound levels and engine tuning relative to the coupe. One never can be sure since emission and sound regulations are continuing to evolve.

 

Personally, the sound volume of the 765 is quite ample. No desire for it to be louder.

 

It could well be a case where the sound was a bit too loud and the random pops and bangs too unpredictable to know when to cover his ears up.

 

We are doing full custom color. 1 of 1. Already submitting to the factory. Waiting on samples.

 

I dunno...I find sound to be pretty crucial. It really helps on the road in that a proper sounding car can fool you into thinking you are traveling faster than you actually are. That enhanced immersion is a real game changer on the street when you are trying to avoid “prison speeding”.

 

Dustman definitely buys cars, he just doesn’t keep them for long. Cool specs too. Everyone does what’s best for them. Personally, I am a buy and hold guy, but I can understand why some people like to go in and out of cars.

 

I would never argue sound not being a crucial factor which is why I cant stand EV's - which he happens to like (go figure) - but in this instance the points I make are 100% valid especially when you consider the person involved. That all said, 765 isn't a car for everyone as it's more a track car for the rd than a rd car for the track but to even suggest sound as being a valid reason to sell in this case only makes the person making those types of comments highly questionable, along with the motive for doing so.....not that I think most here don't know that already

I also have no issue with guys buying and flipping or guys buying and holding but when the story is the same old thing time and time over it gets a bit old and in Dusty's case very very old. And his love of EV's which make no sound at all only further serves to blow his cred and lend question to why he feels the need to incessantly post about his buying and flipping over sound being not up to his standard. Its just ridiculous really. I mean why bother? I mean what is the point of his sermon? Preaching to guys who own these cars who don't subscribe to his POV to make them feel good?? I mean if Dusty wants to report on a crap sounding cars then there would be 101 other cars far more worthy winging about....and mainly EV's which are the love of his life.

 

What about T D F ?

Wish I still had mine to let you drive …. 16M is definitely a special car.
