same here, the upgrade from the torque in my gsr to the m3 was crazy.. at first. It wears off, even my car doesn't feel as fast anymore. :dunno:

I guess we're supposed to be wow'd that a car now runs low 15's

The stock exhaust doesn't do much to muffle it.

I dunno, like I said I haven't had it up that high. When I took it to the strip last year (yes only on the track one day since the build) I noticed it seemed to peak around 9600 though I am not exactly sure since I was paying attention to so many other things as well.
