I'm considering one of these for my next track day toy, but I'm wary of the noise levels they make.

Is anyone here using one, or has seen them last more than 2 laps at Brands/Bedford/Goodwood before being sent home?

Thanks Tri, I want to get on the 98db static tracks also.

I’ve got a 536kg Caterham and a 1520kg E92 M3 track cars atm, I read that the AMG is around 1645kg. Not sure how they made it that heavy, but like the E92, it hides the weight well.

I’m glad to report the my GTR was measured at 97db during the static noise test, with the exhaust valves in both open and closed states.

This is a bit strange as the valves definitely make a lot of difference in noise, but seemingly not a lot when revving at 4,500rpm in park.

Just Comfort mode, it’s all I need to get on track. I’ll configure the Individual setting appropriately for dampers etc as the day goes on. I didn’t know about the part throttle thing, but it makes sense now.
