What a drive. Not sure what I think about the exhaust but, what a car, and what a drive!

Very cool. With the stereo cranked, you wouldn't notice the exhaust so much.

Its a great drive. Wish I could take my car on a road like that... not that the 57 freeway isn't fun during rush hour traffic...

Exhaust sounds great. I like the burble as the gas is let off.

I wonder I'd you can order the gts engine without the smoked lights and all haha. Not a bad deal though, considering the options you get in the gts.

I was going to write that there are loads of roads like this in Europe. For the past couple of years I've done a 10 day driving trip on such great roads. Then, I watched the first bit of the video, realised its from Evo magazine and that it is in Spain Can't beat a good few days drive taking in bits of the Alps and Pyrenees.
