Haha, wow, my car is loud! And the suspension rocks!

Had a rental yesterday for a conference I went to; a Chevy Malibu. (Never bothered to find out what year it was.) The suspension was the same as my worn-out-suspension on my Firebird. The thing bounced "family-car-luxury-style" when i hit bumps, it leaned around corners, and I kept squealing the tires when I left stoplights. (FWD and all that...)

I couldn't even hear that Malibu's engine running; my only clue that the motor was running was that the tachometer wasn't at 0. Got rid of the rental, slid back into my car, and damn, it's loud. Guess my suspension is up-to-par with a new family car's suspension!

Just thought I'd share some useless information- the tech part is, if you want your car to be louder, go rent a family car for a day, then get back into your car. Compared to that thing, I was running open pipes!

All mine are loud

However, I do belive their is a to loud. That is when you can't here your radio, your little girl covers her ears when shes in your truck. And you set car alarms off driving by.
