Put a big a$$ muffler on it and come race with us again.
I'd love to race with you guys again but Laguna is too hit and miss for passing sound, and mostly miss for me in the past, so not worth the effort and cost to try again. Where would I hang a big muffler anyway? On the wing?

I'd kick your butts if I could run.
Hey, what's your time at WSIR now?

Okay, you've gotten too fast.
I did at 24 at WSIR (with a lot of excuses for why it wasn't a 23 or less ).

Even if I got a stock Ford Focus muffler, I can't see how to safely support the weight of it (nothing to hang from).

Consider yourself luckier. I'd take Mosport over Laguna, though I haven't driven Mosport as yet (seen a lot on TV and talked to drivers).

you 2 don't like laguna because they have sound requirements which do suck but everyone else has been dealing with it for a lot longer than either of you have been tracking.

Mosport looks great and I'll drive it soon w/ c3.

I think you two have letting the bitterness and seaside sand irritate your manginas.


Move to toronto then. Enjoy the snow and 1 track in reasonable driving distance I'll deal w/ making a muffler vs shoveling my driveway and not going to the track 6 months of the year.

Let alone you have sears, laguna, thill, wsir, buttonwillow etc.

Hey we're just comparing driving Laguna and Mosport, not the regions or weather
T11 ruins Laguna for low HP cars because no matter how much a lead you build on a high HP car (with slower laptime), you both have to come to a stop at T11 and they pass you in the drag race to T2 (and a bit so up the hill to T7 too).
Sound sucks too because you never know what your car "could" have done with normal exhaust.
