Lots of them come out of the forests surrounding subdivisions dawn and dusk but it was surprising how it happened during the day. As soon as I was right up on the deer it was scared and jumped out of the bushes just as I was turning a corner. Killed her on the spot and did 12k worth of damage to a Nissan. Was going about 18 mph.

Yesterday evening I was driving down a road near a forest with the harrop. After a bunch of curves, I had a straight line of sight for about 1/3 a mile. As I turned the corner about three deer that were standing in the road jumped away as soon as they heard me even though they were in the high beams. I doubt I will ever hit a deer again as long as I drive this car ;-)
Assuming you are on stock exhaust so they heard your SC over the exhaust?
I do not have a stock exhaust. It's loud on its own but as I mentioned the harrop scared them off not the exhaust. In my car you lead with a whine and finish with a growl.
You definitely don't have a sleeper. It would be nice to catch someone off guard and have them mind blown rather than them dismissing your win because you obviously have something going on under the hood. You can't claim a victory even to a g35. And don't loose while sounding bad ass.
