Partition Idea
Rather than the straight ones available now, I would like to see some that come down and curve along with the rear wheel well, so that it is blocked off entirely from the passenger cabin. I gotta believe a lot of the road noise comes from there, and it might further reduce noise to add another layer of sound deadener along that half of the wheel well.
anybody done this?

If you wanted a quiet car then why didn't you buy a Cadillac??? :confused: :confused:
Enjoy the noise, it's part of owning a high performance sports car! :thumbs:

Re: Partition Idea (Highroller)
I'm with Jack. It's a 50,000 dollar car, they could have cut the noise down from the trunk. I understand the tire noise - that is a function of performance, but they could have designed a lightweight, removable, noise reduction panel as an option for the car.

Re: Partition Idea (Tom Steele)
Oh maybe we could cut the noise down.....maybe we could add sport seats....maybe we could add more options. Don't ya'll get it? This car is what it is....and that is a very capable very affordable(relatively speaking) well rounded sports car. If you can't handle its mannerisms, get something else. All these options to appease a few would just cause the car to be more expensive(as well as being heavier).....there I'm done. And BTW, I have one of Andy's partitions and it works wonderfully. Cuts down the road noise big time.

Did you bother to read what you wrote? First you say take what you get, Your the one that doesn't get it, if this car is "what it is " why did you add a partition?
