Funny after they print this

"Something else that could be improved is the exhaust note. The anemic whoosh of the regular S2000 is acceptable, we suppose, since the car has to satisfy a broader range of buyers. But in a car that calls itself a club racer, we think a little more tailpipe amplitude is definitely in order."

Nice to see the S made the list.

Over the years I've found C&D reviews can be hit and miss.

For example, everyone testing the car in this write up should have known the nature of the motor; yet kept it tame.

F430 exhaust gives me chills. Nothing sounds quite like a motor with a flat plane crankshaft.

I'll agree with the list, but no Nissan 350z/370z/G35/FX35/FX45 ?!?!?

They sound good down low but they kind of get all wimpy like up top.

i feel like the OEM exhaust is way quiet.

but maybe i'm just used to loud exhausts.
