Yanno, that is the ONE reason I will never change my exhaust out for an aftermarket. I cant live w/o my exhaust note.

I just made a comment to my friend about this the other day.

WEIRD.

haha. But yea, even if I'm going 75 and there's a Z parked somewhere in a parking lot it catches my attention. It gets scary sometimes.

I reckon all the Z's have a very distinctive note. The 240/260/280 all have a similar exhaust note, 300 (Z32) is different again a more throaty growl, and the 350 more subtle than an a Z32, but a deeper note. Love it when one of my other club mates cruise past, especially with the boot in.

Most sports cars/coupes/reasonable sized engined cars have their own very distinctive note though. Subaru's, Porsche, Ferrari, Skyline, Evo, Jag's, I'll add Holden Commodore's into that (don't know what you call them in the US) & Ford Falcon. Easy to pick a mile off.
