It is higher performance! ESp when you add a blower kit,
NPP muffler open moves much more exhaust than the single outlet
muffler.
The guy is writer with NO IDEA!!

Glad that this is all electronic journalism (and I use that last word very lightly). It would be a real shame to kill a tree to share this collection of thoughts unrestrained by the lack of underpinning knowledge.

I am equally qualified to write an article about Italian fashion lingerie and I don't know anything about that topic area.

The "Author" of that article took information from Cars.com and twisted a lot of it into this "Obnoxious" list. If you read the comments from the Cars.com guys, they like this stuff.


... but it’s also nice to get a few features that can wow people around you,” says Kelsey Mays, consumer affairs editor at auto listings and advice website Cars.com. A team at the site trawled through the latest features of the newest cars on the road and came up with some useful — and some plain ridiculous — ones.

It looks like a cool features list, now if only I could get the obnoxious bug zapper green and electrically tinting roof panel on the Vette too.

Obnoxious you say. Now I'm even more proud to drive a vette if it upsets some liberal writer.

I'm guessing the author wouldn't be a fan of my bullets exhaust.

Mustangs have a "pony projector" feature made for showing off... supposed to be a safety feature to avoid puddles, etc.
