Default 2008 Targa Newfoundland

Hey GSh peeps, we don't get very many posts in our section so I thought I might try to liven it up a bit...

The 450h competed with a roll cage, race exhaust, and coilovers in 2007 and 2008 to an overwhelming effect. The GS sounds really mean with the exhaust but somehow I think the 2-3k RPM drone would get really old.

Do you guys know what other races the GS450h has competed in?

while racing, the gs 450h might sounds cool with an exhaust becuase you'd be flooring the gas the whole time keeping the engine on.. but under normal driving conditions, with the engine constantly coming on and off and having a cvt transmission I think the 450h would sound strange and annoying

also if there was drone I'm guessing we would have to call it a 50kw drone, not a 2-3k rpm drone

WOW! That sounds nice! How is the sound when driving the normal way???

What exhaust do you have??

Did you manage to switch off the traction control? If yes, how????
