It's actually better than my g8 with the magnaflow race mufflers. It just has a deep tone going down the highway but not really too bad on the drone side.

I shoved some 315/35/17 nitto NT05r on my 240, definitely improves traction, spinning tires is fun, but being pinned in the seat is a rush.

No, it's a normal white paint with pearl and a TON of flake in the clear coat. Custom mix lol.

Thanks!

Wired up the coolant and oil pressure autometer gauges today on the pillar. Got some 245/40/18 Mickeys for it in the garage waiting to get the rear camber fixed then putting those on. Also ordered a raptor shift light for it and will be in this week.
