Not that I've noticed. Surprisingly I've yet to experience that as I have a problem with wanting to hear that exhaust note all the time.

I have 2016 firesand R - (7025 miles currently) got it about 7 months ago.
I had many many cars, mostly american muscle. Shelby's, hellcats, ZL1's ( everything plural, have had multiples of each lol ) and this firesand R gets the most attention I have ever had out of any of my cars.
I raced a cop the other day. He was off duty and loved my car and we rocketed up the freeway. He was in an old Taurus SVO, I embarrassed him, LOL.
Car gets so much attention though from everybody, cops included. Constantly people snapping there necks to take a look and kids drooling out the backseat and passenger side windows. Ha - I love it!!!

Fire550 is right, though I haven't had much attention of cops, I do get a lot of looks and pictures. Especially when I pull up to Lowe's (home improvement store) in my vert.

Ha. That’s partially because they are wondering how you plan to get more than one box of screws to fit into the trunk! I’ve taken mine to Home Depot so many times and had lengths of Pex tubing or lawn edging hanging out over the headrest loops down into the footwell and gotten the most amused and bizarre looks.

Just picked her up last week, and took her out the other day to get some proper photos. '16 R, BRG on Camel/Jet with Camel stitch, just about every option except for CCB and black pack. It's been a while since I've had a decent car to shoot, so I was playing around with the framing a bit, but I couldn't find a bad angle. Can't get enough!

Hey, did you pick yours up earlier this year from a McLaren dealer in South Carolina? I think I recognize those wheels. I was in talks with them about it also, but in the end decided to hold out for one with the interior colors I was wanting. Love the FSO though, that and the BRG really light up in direct sunlight.

Lovely color, but those wheel center caps need realigning (growler chin to valve, please)!

And it's missing a vital part - the R badge on the grille!

My V6S 6MT came with R/AWD badges on the back. It didn't seem to help much.

That's the one! But it was a McLaren dealer in Charlotte, NC. I was looking at one in Dallas, but this one was in better shape and less miles. The Tornado wheels came with it, but in the end I decided to keep the Avant Garde wheels since they're lighter, and they've really grown on me. I originally wanted a BRG, but the wife has that on her F Pace, so I went with FSO.

Man, I thought I was OCD. Do they just pry off? I don't know that I've ever messed with wheel center caps before. Also probably going to pick up some R-badged valve stem caps, if I can find some quality metal ones. The OE ones are kinda boring. lol

That's actually been bugging me. It has the R-AWD badge on the rear but nothing on the front. First owner had a low-speed front impact, no functional damage or airbag deployment, but the bumper was replaced. They must have not put the R-badge back on when they repaired it. Do you know how hard it is to put them on, do I have to drop the bumper?

It's beautiful! I had just had a FSO/Brogue V8S get bought out from under me when that one was listed, and was seriously considering it. Glad it went to someone who's an enthusiast enough to be a part of the community.

I'm CDO (gotta be alphabetical order!). Some here have removed the center caps with a suction tool, but they can be a tight fit so it's safer to bang 'em out from the back, if you're okay removing wheels.

Yes, you need to pull the nose to bolt the badge bracket on from the rear.

While I’m excited for your new purchase, there can only be so many “courtesy” warnings regarding the growler center caps being properly aligned with the valve stem - bonus points if the locking lug is below the growler chin and above the stem as shown below......

And there was me thinking that symmetry was a neatly laid out graveyard!

You are a meh sir! We will assume that since you haven’t followed up (it has been over an hour) that you are either making the necessary corrections or have decided to pursue other equally meaningful activities.....like a cold beer.......
