Well i can now give a final report on the results of my efforts to tame this beast.

I have done the hatch and doors and the final thing was new Conti tires.. I am happy to report the car if perfect..for me. Its so quiet that I can actually see that any more sound dampening would spoil the sport car experience, as some have said.
Actually, i can also understand why some might think I had already gone too far...

...but I do like to take long distance drives with my wife and I just cannot bear the thought of the road noise drowning out her "helpful advice" as to traffic signs, my speed, braking, lane changing, other drivers and such..

Well i now feel I can really enjoy this car to its fullest...sometimes when driving on the back-roads, sometimes driving on the highway and always when ALONE..

This site saved me from what I thought was a huge mistake at first by buying a car that was just far too annoying on the open road...so one annoyance down...one more to go...if you catch my meaning..
