How bloody loud is a Lambo Gallardo
Driving along minding my own business, when behind me there was this almighty racket and lo and behold a Gallardo Spyder had just overtaken a group of cars and came up behind me, downshifted a couple of times and overtook me.
A Subaru is a fairly loud car and always seems to attract the coppers, but this thing was ridiculous. I know they have valves in the exhaust to get through the noise tests, but how they pass any trackday noise tests is beyond me.

Yeah I got up behind one on the M1 last year, I wasn't being pushy just wanted a closer look.
Well he let me have a look and then he took off.
Bloody hell what a racket

The valves regularly stick open. My friend has one - his valve has stuck open and it's mad, especially through tunnels.
You can hear it here - this was him with a couple of buddies annoying people in central London a couple of weeks ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2CUAK99qrA
He definitely drives it properly (when he's not going up Oxford street)
(he also owns an R8 like the one in the video too which also sounds fruity [ba5tard])

Yes, it seems that they can get away with it as they are 'supercars'. Whereas Subarus doing the same thing are considered a nuisance and would be pulled over. Nobody obviously told them that I am allowed to make noise as mine is also a supercar
