V8 guys.... what do you think? - Page 3 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

DevilsReject97 · 04-02-2011, 11:56 PM

Sounds really good for a V6, some of the best I've heard on a V6 to be honest. Coming from a Grand Prix GTP background, they've also got some really nice sounds as well..

Remember, sometimes being different is what makes you that much cooler....the first guy to drop an LS motor into an RX7 was looked at like an idiot, but he started a trend....same goes for back in the day when they'd drop Ford motors into Chevy's and vice versa...

Personally, I'd say keep the LS and go twin turbo....lull em to sleep and decimate em..

A v6 can never achieve the v8 sound. So I guess you were going for the best possible for your sixer. It has to be the best sounding v6 I've heard, and I'm sure youtube doesnt do it much justice. Well done.

Thanks, I'd love to hear your monster of a Camaro. Any vids?

This was right before I pulled the motor and did the stroker to it. 578 rwhp at that point.

Sounds great!

P3SAR · 04-03-2011, 08:00 AM

Wow! Sounds really good, for a v-6 or a v-8

10spokess · 04-03-2011, 08:20 AM

Sounds better than ever other V6 car I have ever heard on the road... You my friend get mad props from me

phenixdragon · 04-03-2011, 08:55 AM

Terrible. Sounds like you have soda cans on your pipes trying to make your car sound fast. Complete rice. One of the posts on here you said you were going for a deep sound, it is off the mark. It's high and ricey.

Yeah V8 sound isn't the goal, just a good V6 sound. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for posting, but if you're going to say my car sounds bad at least don't call it "ricey." How about "sounds like an import?" "Rice" is offensive.

sounds good

*Camaro_Corvette* · 04-04-2011, 11:42 AM

That would have to be one of the best V6's I have ever heard. Nice

Did you lose/gain any power, or do you know?

Thanks for the comment. Definitely did not lose any power. I am getting it dynoed on the 30th. We'll see what happens.

Had a G35 before buying the Camaro. That was one of the few V6 exhaust notes I really dig. The 370Z/G37 continue this trend.

As to the OPs request, sounds great man, keep it up!
