Btw... there was a BS rumor going around that they now have a roaming DB meter at LS. This was not true last week. |

I lived in California for 45 years and am now an Alabama resident with homes in other states. I love Laguna and Sonoma but am absolutely fed up with California politics and tolerance for BS. I was flagged for noise at LS last November in my Volvo wagon and have had it with that track. Too bad too because my home in CA is 40 miles from the track.
Driving NCM in August in the ZL1 and can’t wait. |

The evening drive up the 1 to my sisters house in Marin was almost as fun as the track. That 2 lane coastal road at sunset is a blast in the ZL1. Downshift to 2nd or 3rd and go warp speed in seconds passing 5-6 cars like they're standing still, and the smooth sweeping curves are great :-) I need to hear more about a Volvo wagon that blew sound at LS :-) Last edited by SFV1LE; 07-08-2019 at 10:32 PM. |

The Volvo is 2006 V70R.... all wheel drive, 2.4L 5 cyl, 91 octane and makes 487 HP / 519 lbft TQ to the wheels on a Mustang. Full exhaust with CAT, resonator, and muffler. Exhaust tone is absolutely manageable on the street but couldn’t beat the meter lifting up the hill. |

That reminds me of this story, when Paul Newman gave David Letterman a Volvo wagon with a Supercharged Ford 302 V8. |
