Sounds like a 350Z, which is my favorite sounding V6, so I love it. Kinda wish it was a little deeper when revved (almost sounds like an older Pontiac Grand Prix with a 3800 Series V6, which still sounds great, so all is good), but when it's pulling it sound almost exactly like a 350Z/G35...

Sounds good. I think that sound will appeal to people who like other high performance V6 powered cars like the G35 and BMW 3 series. While the SS appeals to the traditional American muscle car enthusiasts, the V6 really will win over the converts.

It did sound a bit deeper in person. Seeing it come down the street was amazing....Finally out of all these auto shows.
Here are a few more pics. I have some more videos of the interior and exterior but have not had time to upload them. |

With my own budget crisis underway, I wouldn't feel bad about getting one of those for a couple of years. That sounds remarkable and looks fast at the end. GM did great work with this one.

I told my friend today that I don't care any more. The V6 is well within my interests.

Sounds good for a V6, but it's still a V6...

I believe it's not the cubes, but the firing order that makes a Chevy 8 sound better than a Ford, (a blind man can hear the difference) AND unless they were able to duplicate that, this will never sound like an 8.
BUT it did sound very good and no Honda ever sounded like that. |

Even thought I want the V8, the V6 will be reasonable for a performance enthusiast as long as the aftermarket is good to us, which I'm confident is the case. As long as we have some holdover goodies to install, we can wait for a V8 in a couple more years. My primary goal is to hold out as long as possible for the V8, but my dying Subaru may make that decision for me. :seesaw:

Sweet! Thanks for posting. And LOL at the "I'd be weirded out" thing.
