LMAO

That's a good one

not sure it's the rich house wives that initiate the sound limitation. Honestly, I can't hear ANY race car noise once I leave Laguna Seca main gate during recent ALMS race. Apparently there are some small interest group like the one mention above that are making a stink and I wonder who else ...

GT3s and any cars with seriuos power meeting 100DB is really tough with a FreeFlow exhaust. Stock Ferrari F430 and 430 Scuderias have exhaust valves that OPEN up when you play with the Mannetino........these cars will pin the sound meter stock. Sound geart but 90BD like Lime Rock Park and anyone will get busted with a stock late model Ferrari 430, 458, F12, 599.

Same deal with 997 GT3 and valves that Open and close depensing on heavy throttle application and BUTTONS on dash boards and Happy Gung-Ho drivers.

Its a crying shame. Calaboggie in Canada is draconian too...........what the hell do we do Long Term race electric cars.

Never been to LS and or California race tracks...........aswesome weather, predictable sunshine.........great food & red wine..............what wrong with a WOT sports car with a happy driver!

GT3 pictures and data very soon. Fabspeed open house this Sunday 11 to 2PM

electric cars maybe exciting 10-20 years down the road. 103-105 db on race track is totally acceptable and anything less is just ridiculous. There will always be people going to Laguna Seca and Lime Rock but those in the know will stay away once we get out taste of the track ... there are many other good track around to spend our money without absurd sound limit

That explains why Sharkwerks doesn't sell them anymore.
