The OP is right about cylinder volume giving the LS3 L99 the basso profundo sound. A big V twin motorcycle like my Harley has a deep bark because of the huge cylinders. A Ducati has the same kind of bass sound but it is a little different because a Harley is a 45 degree V-twin and a Duck is a 90 degree V-twin. However a large displacement multi cylinder engine like a Kawasaki Ninja ZX1400 does NOT have that bass sound due to small cylinder volume. Consequently, a six cylinder Camaro would have to displace roughly five liters to sound at all like a V-8.
