Are there multiple exhaust modes or is there no valve in the exhaust?


Thanks
Definitely not! But i dont miss my 5 point (in my previous track queen) at all - as the Recaros provide excellent lateral support. One of the best seats ive sat in - bar none.

4 wheels do fit in, 18s for sure, unsure of stocker 20s.
Some folks did post pix but i cant find them. You have to recline rear seats i think.

Stock pads are completely fine, but DSUNOs do provide more bite (and generate more heat...). HOWEVER: i just drove on new stock pads obtained from a GM dealer and they seem to have tons more torque from i recall from last year. Dont know if this is my aging senses, or whether Ferodo changed their compounds, or GM ordered different compound as stock. They felt very bitey to me and i kept putting the car on its nose while getting my cobwebs out during first day of testing.

There are valves in the exhaust and they have a tendency of developing a squeek after a while. Pulling a fuse leaves them in open position and fixes the problem. Zero drone etc when fully open. Not loud at all except for start up and WOT.

Hope this helps.
