Was this someones car?

Anyone know if the person that had this car is in here? Carfax says it's a corporate car. It's currently at a dealership in San Ramon and I was hoping to ask the former owner a few questions. Corporate car, does that mean a lot of people have driven the car? On the race track? I like my cars like my partners, not to many people have driven it around the block.

"Cooperate car" can mean many different things from it was a demo with hundreds of drivers to it was given to some dealer employee (usually higher up) to drive as a daily. That looks pretty modified to be a demo unless the dealer actually sells those parts and it was the showpiece. What are the miles on it? They will tell a better story than just that is was a corporate car.

Ok so not a show room car and not likely a demo. If it was a "corporate" car at all it would most likely have been a personal use one. Looks lowered and the wheels and tails are more cosmetic than anything. Of course can't say for sure but it does not appear to be much of a track set up. Any idea what else may have been done to it beyond the visible?

^^^^ "There however, is one gigantic problem with the exhaust. That is the drone. It just drones and drones and drones. I can be going 30 mph and it will start to drone at 2.5K RPMs. I took an hour drive with this exhaust at about 70mph and I literally had to turn the speakers up to full volume to listen to the a podcast."

Is there a dealer write up someplace?
I am having a hard time believing it was a corporate car. The emblem looks plastidipped on the trunk.
