Predictable, like 6-8 threads on this car on this forum, how much you wanna bet the color gets brought up in all of them?
Stop trying to be my friend, you're making it weird.
Annoying isn't it?

Because in practicality, there is nothing to talk about. Minimum wrenching and mods.
RL threads are mainly broken up by the following popular topics.
- Resale value & ADM (not paying but everyone knows the calling numbers and of course everyone gets theirs at MSRP) threads.
- PCCB vs Irons.
- Colors, deviated stitching, configurator validations.
- Love all vendors (the usual big names making revenue here), support YouTubers, Influencers.
Not towing the line is basically frown upon and deemed an outcast, troll by the RL caste.

I did get my car as MSRP though

Interesting, Farrah seems to indicate in the video that the chassis and suspension exceeds the capability of the stock engine. I’d probably upgrade the suspension if I was going to add an additional 120+ HP but its nice to know the chassis and suspension still feels good with the increased engine performance,

But the one trick the stock exhaust can do is be totally calm and sedate with zero drone when you close the valves. It's very close to stock even without any cats or filters. The aftermarket solutions that sound better and free up 10-15 HP are a lot harder to live with.

It's not the best sound in the world but I've run race headers on the stock exhaust (both with straight through OAPs or catted ones) and it does have something IRL that's kind of aggressive and serious sounding. It doesn't wail like a GT3 however.

There is something off about how Matt captured the sound in his video. I have heard many DeMan 4.5's both from the cockpit, from the sidelines and with different exhausts and headers. They all sound glorious and nothing like that video. I noticed that most of his cockpit video sounds good but the drive-by clips are not good. There are many other videos about these cars. Use those others if you want to form a real opinion.

That's only happening in the alternate reality that is your inner monologue.
