Interesting reading material if you guys have ever contemplated the issues of engine smoothness and sound.

Nice to see this thread is still alive.

How dare they put up a site about engine smoothness and not bother posting info about the wankel rotary engine...the smoothest engine of all!

This thread must never die! :-)

I haven't been - but I did meet up with a few other GT-R's on Sat for a nice easy cruise in the sun. The police are nuts these days so we all drive very conservatively. Hard to do though when one of the GT-R's has nearly 800HP.

Would love to get together before the summer is over though. Even if just to catch up. How's the R8 treating you? I miss my RS4 exhaust sounds!!!

Let's see some pics of the GT-R! Where are all the photos of the local C63 AMGs now? I see so many of them around town, even the newer Coupes are becoming quite a frequent sight. They look really good.

I am gonna go ahead and bump this.

Any "C63's" interested in coming out for a cars and coffee and just to chat we can do that.

I have been pushing a few people back from doing this for a few months now.

But we can do it before the winter hits.

Sounds great, cars and coffee?

Well you don't drink coffee =P

If the time allows and we get enough interest... we can do a drive to Squamish?

Of course this involves driving the speed limit AND no passing.

Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Maybe this weekend? I'll try to set something up. Would be nice to see some new C63s as well as all the usual Lambos, McLarens, Ferraris, and Porsches.

We used to have lots of them. Just check out this thread. Actually, don't...it would take too long.

We're thinking of doing something this weekend. If interested, put your name down.
