2007 Corvette - Road Noise
"Enhanced acoustic package reduces road noise included in Z06 2LT"
Will ALL of the new 2007 corvettes have the reduced road noise package or will it only be included on the 2007 Z06?
Please elucidate - I just bought an 07 and road noise is a major problem in my 2001 C5.
Thanks.

Excuse the double post but the last one got sent off before I intended to send it and the title is vague. Mods can please feel free to delete my previous post.

I just did 2500 miles in a 3LT coup F55. The new runflats are quieter than the old ones (I drive a 50th A C5). However, there is still a fair amt. of noise.
The rest of the car is quieter and it is by no means a loud car but it is just loud enough to make you kick up the radio a bit.
Conversations are easily heard.
No wind noise.
Exhaust is surprisingly quiet from the outside and loud from the inside. There is a drone that adds a few dbs. I started my friends Mustang cobra and it sounded much better from the outside of the car and was every bit as quiet inside.
In summary, most of the noise is from the road. I would need to try different tires to see if it can be reduced.
