My dad was telling me about a friend of his who, back in the 70's or so, took a car that just had a base V6 and then tuned it so that it sounded almost exactly like a big V8, or so I've been told. But there is only so much that GM could do to make it like that from the factory since they also have to deal with emissions and mileage. Plus sound does not equal power so it is possible to get a V6 to sound like a V8, and it is possible to get one to perform like one, but to get both at the same time may prove impossible
