In my area, its the old used Z's and G's that annoy everyone with their straight pipes and lack of class. I had a 350Z in 2007 and loved that car. Now the sound of a VQ engine makes me quiver as it's normally some degenerate making way too much noise.

I fully understand Tesla vehicles are far from perfect and still have a long way to come. But I don't necessarily...
