    Ferrari has a sound of it's own and I don't think it can every be matched. Just wondering if any of you have the same problem that i'm having. I will drive down the street and as i drive past certain parked cars the sound from my car (328GTS), will set off car alarms. I don't have a problem with this and I actually think it is kind of funny, but a few of the people on my block are getting upset. Does your car set off car alarms?

    my Pantera does. 308 doesn’t currently, but that may change once I install the Larini exhaust.
    My Harleys definitely do and they don't have drag pipes. some people’s alarms are just set too sensitive.

    I have a 328 with a Tubi and was pulling out of a Restaurant and set a car alarm off. I chuckled to myself, however I could see how that would be annoying. I always get agitated with Harley’s with straight pipes – now I have a loud car.

    It's a hobby for me...I can set off an entire row of Suburbexcrement alarms in the lot at offices. The blinking lights are disco-like. :D

    My 328 sets off alarms all the time, especially in the parking garage.

    My honda is notoriously loud but there aren't too many people with ultra sensitive car alarms in my city. I was down in Vancouver, BC with it a while back though and drove down this one residential street... every car had the lights flashing... I got out of there pretty quick lol.

    I haven't set any off yet myself, at least to my knowledge. My exhaust system is stock, BTW.

    The only vehicles that ever set off the alarm in my old Accord? Cobra helicopters, a C-130 Hercules, and top-fuel dragsters!

    A shepard is tending his flock when a young yuppie type accompanied by all the electronic bells and whistles (i.e., cell phone, pda, laptop, GPS, etc) pulls up.

    After a short friendly conversation, the man asks the shepard "If I tell you how many sheep you have, can I pick one?"

    The shepard says "Certainly".

    Using all the electronic wizardry the man can muster...he comes up with...492.

    "That's correct", says the shepard, you can pick one out.

    The man picks one out.

    The shepard says, "If I tell you what you do for a living can I have my animal back?"

    The man says, "Sure".

    "You are a consultant" says the shepard.

    "How DID you know?!?!"

    "Well...says the shepard you showed up unanounced, you really think you know it all, and you told me something I already knew...now please put down my dog.

    HeHe...
