[s-cars] Exhaust sounds

A friend of mine mentioned that the Stromung exhaust sounds like a
small V-8, when I got on the throttle coming out of an underground
parking garage. I never thought of it that way.

The Subaru WRX STi sounds like a a cross between a Porsche and
something else, really mean-sounding with a decent exhaust- Stromung
turbo-back sounds incredibly good.

The Volvo V70R sounds an awful lot like an Audi I-5, even with the
engine sideways- stock exhaust has a nice burble to it, growls when
revved.

Killed a Lexus GS430 last night- he started a car length in front of
me past the stop line, jumped the light, I started from a roll and
walked right past him about when I did my second to third shift, ran
well past him, shut it down, coasted to a leisurely 60 and he does a
ricer flyby, flashing his hazards and all. WTF? Declaring victory when
defeated makes no sense- then again, ricers make no sense. He should
know better than to run a car that comes with an outrageously large
wing from the factory. :-)

Too bad I didn't do it in the Audi, would have made him feel a lot worse.

Stromung'ed Audi sounds very mean
