Is the C8 Zr1 the best car performance car for less than 220,000$?
reddit.comAnyone else fine with the performance exhaust in terms of sound?
One of the most common complaints I hear about the C8 Stingray, is that the stock performance exhaust just isn’t loud enough for most enthusiasts.
That said, as someone who’s heard them in person at car shows, driving by, and revving, I think it sounds perfectly fine. I honestly don’t understand spending $5,000 on an aftermarket exhaust just to get a slightly deeper rumble and a bit more volume.
Corsa, Borla, and Fabspeed all offer systems in the $4,500 to $6,000 range. Do you really think it’s worth it?
My theory is that while the East would likely dominate the Super Heavyweight division, North America would own the 115kg and 105kg classes. In their respective primes, I don't see anyone touching John Brzenk at 105kg or Devon Larratt at 115kg. Does the East actually have anyone in history who could challenge those two at those specific weights?
