I went over some pebbles and rocks from some roadwork leftovers on the road and it sounded like someone shooting a BB machine gun at the back of the car. Wasn't expecting that. I also hear what sounds like either gear whine or just driveline noise coming into the cabin. Not bad, just very race-car-ish. Reminds me of the Panoz race cars I drove... totally unexpected. Kinda cool, I hope I don't get sick of it though.

I am very surprised at how clunky the driveline is. .
oh boy... here we go again. Am getting really sick of hearing about this.

Why? It's the nature of the car. Only allowed to post awesome stuff to puff up our egos?
