We'll be getting dusted by trucks. Maybe this means a hybrid setup or perhaps fully electric with Europe's harsher restrictions. With that being said, who cares about the grille, we've gotta enjoy this rumble while it lasts. The end is nigh for ICE and exhaust upgrades 🥺

EU regulations have already castrated us by greatly limiting the exhaust noise
I'm depressed by this everytime I accelerate in my g82, future exhaust mods will solve the problem but the cost is being scolded by my service center and likely will void some kind of warranty (whatever they can link to the exhaust lmao I'm sure they'll think of something)
But you're right, let's enjoy this while we can because in 10 years we'll be saying things like "that kids old 428 actually kinda sounds nice" while we zoom away in our boring electric sports cars…at that point I don't know if I'll be reaching into my pocket for 80k+ to dish out on a car that no longer makes me smile
