yes, too loud and too much work to row the gears and the stereo is too weak and the looks are too racerish and the car lacks rear seats and it doesn't park or drive itself.

nothing better than going through one of our tunnels @ 8,000rpm ( GMG) exhaust!!! If the sound is too loud you need a different car or maybe Bose headphones.

NO! Pretty good unplugged stock, perfection with a Sharky bypass.
My car has blue tooth and I can use it to make calls up to 85/90Mph as long as I don't have the A/C on max and keep it under 4000RPM.
I would not set up a conference call, but no problem to talk about my FLATOUT driving on the way home from the track.
This is a '10RS, permanently unplugged WITH a Sharky bypass and I have to turn the A/C down due to IT'S noise.... Come on people how can that be to loud?!
Oh and I do have to remember to take my helmet off.....

I don't think I could live with it any louder.
For track or autox perfect. But for me and commuting too loud. Lucky I don't commute with it.
I think the car is just about as loud as my former C5Z06 with long tube headers, and no pollution controls.
The GT3 is amazing and beautiful, and I am keeping it because it's a amazing car to drive the way it talks to you-----just wish it would pipe down a bit when smooth sailing.
Although I guess just about all high performance cars, especially kinda exotic cars---are all pretty loud----and I don't care about the outside----I care about the inside.

My bluetooth works great, and the noise in the car is not a problem........but when just cruising I would like a quieter car, but again I don't "cruise" too much in the car.
Oh well----still love my yellow rocket

I just drove 1.5hr (each way) to Rennsport Reunion and back with the valves unplugged. I thought the exhaust noise level was actually kinda mellow, until I stumped on the throttle, then it was orgasmic. Like skxf430 said, it's mainly the road noise from the lack of sound insulation and tire.

For commuting, I believe that my 10 GT3 is loud as far as road noise (tire, no insulation), exhaust and engine are just fine. I'd like a bit less road noise for commute, but ... a small price to pay for the pleasure to drive such a fantastic machine. I end up driving slower while on the phone or commuting in the highway until I get that little stretch that makes worthwhile take it to work.
I end up driving it 5 days a week... just avoiding it with wife (too loud for her) and valet parking or taking customers...
