I’m in the minority I know, but I do not consider loudness to necessarily be a desirable thing. I realize that louder typically equates to “freer flowing” which equates to more power, but if I could have more power without the noise in an ICE, I’d take it 10 times over 10.

For a company making this car on a budget, I wonder why they don’t just use the quieter exhaust on the auto also.

Real answer is:

Depends on the person. My father has a GT500 and I know he’s diligent about using quiet mode in the neighborhood and flipping it into sport when he hits the main roads. 

This car’s ass looks so good.  The sound is fine.  But I’m here for the rear end shots.

“but it can super quiet when you need to use the phone or want to hear the radio (or not draw attention from the cops).”

All the more reason to get the manual. I prefer the exhaust only be as loud as necessary for the performance I want. Any louder is just stupid and obnoxious. Every time I hear dickheads drive by loud as hell but just flowing with traffic I just think to myself, “It’s that wooooWOOOOOO”

Gas is expensive, but filling stations are running on that 15 cents per gallon margin; they aren’t the cause of the high prices. In this case the owner probably saw $500 to $1000 in what he paid for the fuel lost, or about what he now has to sell 3,000 to 6,000 gallons of fuel to pay for.

Couldn’t be bothered to read the post, I see. 

Dude!! The race is still on TV right now.

Thanks, I started watching at 14:00 on CBS 25 minutes ago. Can you wait a little bit before giving the results?

Counter point.

When we finally see one in the hands of journalists for a test drive, I want to know how the LATCH system works in the front seat. Getting a baby seat in and out of a hypercar these days just seems to be an afterthought for these engineers.

Koenigsegg is the best looking supercar brand.

Like the old saying about porn, “difficult to describe but everyone knows it when they see it” .  The real Monty or a Kardashian sex tape?

It’s like porn, I can’t define it, I just know it when I see it.

Feels like Jalopnik is a bunch of kids sitting around in ‘95 arguing whether or not Greenday is “punk”.

Do you have any pictures of this AZ-1 that I can stare at for a while?

I would disagree - IMO a supercar does not have lower tier models that it could be confused with. The styling needs to be excessive. Calling a base corvette a sports car, but a ZR1 a supercar, implies there is a performance requirement that would inherently undo the supercar status of cars from the past (a base C6 is …

I look at it like this:
