    Notice how every once in awhile, the camera guy "giggles"....

    Trust that when you are fortunate enough to drive one--through tunnels, on the freeway, and especially on twisty, hilly roads, those giggles turn into long periods of absolute, unmitigated glee!! And, when you truly "put your boot into it", these beasts immediately awaken with a sound better than anything I've personnally experienced on the streets.

    Best of all, you can "hit it" over and over again like a never ending morphine drip--ka-bam...feels fantastic every time!

    My advice, if you get the chance..."just do it!" :)

    It's like Ferrari V8 from the lightweight models (CS and Scuderia), but 100x meatier and more powerful roar.

    If I had the means, I would buy this car just for the noise!

    Holy Cow!!!! I jumped out of my desk chair in excitement on the first tunnel run. The amazing thing besides the sound is how damn fast the car takes off. Its absolutely awesome to see real world acceleration.

    The GTO has to have the best sounding OEM exhaust Ferrari has produced, followed by the F50 and maybe 355 among late street cars. That is just awesome.

    I had a Daytona with major portions of the muffling system missing, and the GTO still sounds better.

    Watch videos like this and realize that as long as there is another barrel of oil somewhere in the ground to pump out and refine as gasoline, electric cars will never replace an IC engine for toys.

    The sound made my day.

    The flames on the downshifts around 3:10 made my week.
