You are an idiot. Who created this altimadum?

If irony were strawberries, we'd all be drinking alot of smoothies right now.

He said 24hrs or so.

I've given him quite a grace period as it is, and considering i don't owe him any favors, guess who's problem it is? I'll give you a hint: it begins with "h" and ends with "is"

Well i suppose... technically, its your problem, cuz you're the one who wanted the video right?

Re: Sounds like a Z28...

i want the video. That makes it my problem. Yay, no more arguing!

And he doesn't owe you anything either so, yeah.

I like the smoothie comment though.

No, i don't need a video to prove what i already know, that being that his car rasps like every other V6 in existance. He's the one that would need the video to prove me wrong

Re: Sounds like a Z28...

Well I'll tell you now it doesn't rasp for ****. You'll have a video. You can just demand things like that in 24 hours. Even if he said it, he didn't say it would definitely be by then.

Re: Sounds like a Z28...

Well, im with Smoke Panther. The guy said he'd have the video in 24 hours or so and its been 24 hours or so and there is still no video. Its simple. If he didnt think he could have the video in 24 hours b/c he has "stuff to do", then he shouldnt say that he could have it.

Anyway, i'm still sayin its not gonna sound like a v8. Because, well, its impossible. Like I said get a Honda Civic to sound like a cammed v6 and i'll give you my private island in Kansas.

There's no way you can do it....same thing with a bike. You cant get a Ninja 500 to sound like a CBR600 b/c the Ninja is a 2-cylinder, CBR is a 4 banger.


I dont see why everyone is on UDLOSE's side.

He made an outrageous claim and failed to provide the proof when he said he would.

Re: Sounds like a Z28...

I love how you all hold this time constraint. As if this forum is his only life. I've spoken with him twice today and he is out doing other things. Not catering to you who are demanding things. Another reason why I'm so defensive on this is that I have put A LOT of time into his car right along with him. Granted he has obviously put in quite a few hours more than I have, but lots and lots of hours have gone into it.

Just give it a little time for a good video. We've finally got the car sort of running 'right.'

Intrestingly tho you can make a 4 banger sound like a bike and a v6 sound like a 4 banger.... weird.

Probably cuz he didn't call people names, type in really huge red letters and act like a little child

I do agree tho.. as cool and "BA" as dan's car is its not gonna sound like an 8. Although i can believe that it doesn't rasp (or at least not enough to be noticable above all the awesomeness).

It's not our problem that he can't hold himself to his own word.

So? Like I said, no matter how much you molest a V6, it's still going to sound like a V6 at high RPM.

Just give it a little time for a good video.

I don't want a good video. I want a video of his car going above 4000 RPM

.

yeah u put a fart can on our v6's and itll sound like a ricey 4 banger it sucks u cant put a v8 exhaust and sound just like a v8... imo its possible to be close to a v8 but idk if u can replicate the sound of a v8 though

Once again, as if this forum is his whole life. I didn't say it sounds like a V8, because I didn't say I thought it did. But it definitely doesn't have any sort of rasp that you said all the v6's have. You don't want a good video, you want one with it going over 4k. Your an idiot. What do you think good video means?

Re: Sounds like a Z28...

Who really cares if his car rasps or not? Yes, it would be intriguing to hear a V6 that sounded like a V8, but is it worth everyong getting all riled up over? Okay, he said he'd have a video, he didn't pony it up. Either wait for the video and watch in either amazement or disappointment, or if it never comes, try to devise some slick ways to make your own cars sound better rather than getting angry at someone else's claims. I personally like the sound of that Summit Turbo muffler that Pewter2K1 had.

This argument makes just as much sense as someone saying they have a boeing 747 that flies upside down, except you have a better chance of doing that than making a 3800 sound like a V8. The pattern on the crankshaft and perhaps the firing order would have to be changed to make it sound even close. As far as rasp, there are ways I'm sure to eliminate it. BMW guys have the same issue from what I understand.

Interesting read though

Re: Sounds like a Z28...

Also, my theory on the rasp is that the way our engines fire, its in sequences of two firings hapening very close together, so escaping possibly flammable exhaust gases are igniting off eachother due to the close proximity in timing of the cylinders firing. That and the occurance of the firings of the cylinders isn't evenly spaced, like I said looking at my crank it looks like it is three sequences of two cylinders firing very closely to one another in a given timespan. like ba-ba...ba-ba...ba-ba... over and over very fast.

Eh, maybe that makes no sense, but it does to me. if anyone made sense out of that, sweet! Another thing I've thought about as far as the distinct sound of a V6, and why many people think a 4 or an 8 cylinder sound better is the fact that an 8 cylinder is firing 4 times per rotation (a four-stroke motor fires every other rotation, thus half in my little theory) but see, the principal of acoustic harmonics (200hz is the same note as 400hz) comes into play, and since 1 times 2 is 2, and 2 times 2 is 4, you have doubling of the engines own sound frequency or whatever, which makes it all sound like it's in harmony and gives it that musical sound. hey to put it simpler, 1-2-4-8. all doubles, smooth harmony

A v8... Take a certain note, convert it into hertz, take that frequency and multiply it by 8, and you will have a note that is 8 octaves (I think) higher, but still the same note. For example 100hz and 800hz are the same note, and they harmonize while being played together.

our sixes though, take a given sound frequency, multiply it by 6, and you will not have the same note, you will have two different notes, making an off-key sound combination that sounds "annoying" to most people...

A 4-cylinder harmonizes like an 8 cylinder. Some people like how a Honda S2000 sounds. I think they have a nice sound to them personally.

Now take a 3-cylinder or even a 12-cylinder like a Lamborghini. Multiply the frequency of any note by 3 or 12 and you won't have that harmony, you'll get different notes that don't mix well. Alot of people I know think the lamborghinis don't sound too hot. I think they sounds sick though. But think about the 3 cyl engines, I never heard one that sounded good, even as good as a strong 4banger.

maybe someone got what im saying? just random thoughts at 1:46 am
