Sounds like a Z28...

Re: Sounds like a Z28...

Another random thought - it'd be easier to make one of our cars sound like a lamborghini by means of changing the pattern on the crankshaft and the firing order based on the theory that if you could produce an intake manifold, valvetrain, exhaust etc that reproduced the acoustic properties of the lamborghinis setup, you could make the V6 sound the same at double the RPM. In other words, this highly modded V6 would sound at 5k like a lambo at 2,500. Better chance of doing that than getting it to sound like a V8. That rumble is created by harmonics as well as the firing order.

im sticking with UDLOSE98 on this one. my exhaust sounds really good thru all RPM ranges too. no, it does NOT sound like a v8, but it can very easily be mistaken for one. i have video, but its all idle and low RPMs.. so if smoke panther wants a video.. ill get you one. youll hear the entire RPM band. i think he just has never heard a monster v6 before and doesnt know what he's talking about. ill get you your video, no promises on how long it will take me though.

i still need to get a good sound clip. ahhh ill mess you guys up thinking its a v8. haha.

i'm not picking sides, but i want to hear clips of somebody that thinks their car sounds like a v8 or sounds great from idle to 6,000 rpms.

Re: Sounds like a Z28...

I've done bottom 11's in the quarter mile in reverse before, while getting road head and playing a saxophone.

I'll post a vid of it in 24 hours or so.

Re: Sounds like a Z28...

wow I missed a lot, well the fact that it rained here all day yesterday aparently means nothing, according to smoke panther I should have underwater filming devices and who cares about taking a turbo charged car with a 4000 stall out in the rain, right? thats gonna work out really well. My comment was simple, the car sounds BA all the way thru the rpm range and there is no lie about that, and once its not raining, and i am not working i'd be more than happy to show you that, but like blown00 already said. even if i were to dub over v8 exhaust you would still say it sounds like a 6 and like **** and run your mouth then drive off in a car that mine would literally laugh its internals off at....... NONE THE LESS, you sir have taken the term "tool" to a whole new level. While i was out with my friends at the bar, relaxing last night, where were you? here, waiting, for an exhaust clip. Jumping down random people throats, all in order to do what exatly? also you never answered my question as to if you are on the rag or not? and since im at work right now theres no video i can obtain of my car, but I would really love to hear about yours. Someone so opinionated and pissed off at an innconent comment must have a low 10 sec car in the garage.....no? WEll let me take a stap at it then, 3.4 with intake and exhaust...OOOOH wait, what? WHAT?!?! 180* thermo????? snap! Well im sure your car dominates, im going to spend the rest of the work day crying.

Re: Sounds like a Z28...

I like the fact that my V6 sounds like a V6... It gets attention and I get people asking me "What the hell do you have in that thing?" to which I respond, just a V6... Getting 14.3 second passes and beating an SN95 modular V8 GT's times with a V6 I think is cooler and more fun than beating him with a V8. Our cars are not v8s, they won't sound like v8s. I don't see anyone with a Kawasaki Ninja or a GSX-R 600 trying to make them sound like harleys...

And c'mon, as far as the arguing goes, we are all car enthusiasts with similar cars, shouldn't we share knowledge rather than put someone down for their claims? If the guy next to me tells me that his stock GTI runs 12s, sure I'll think it's bull**** but am I going to take it any farther than that? Nah. I'll be like oh, good for you. Now I will continue on and make my V6 slightly faster so I can beat you worse than I already can.

If the guy says he has a video, I'd be pretty curious to see it myself, but if he told me his car ran 9s and failed to provide video proof, I don't think I'd care enough to argue back and fourth about it, especially with someone else who had not even made the claim.

He has a kickass setup that is undoubtably one of the fastest on here so commend him on that rather than questioning if his exhaust has the typical V6 rasp. If it does, so what? If he says it doesn't, it probably doesn't.

YES! Too bad no one else knows what that means.

Hey, if I lose a race, oh big deal you beat a V6 camaro! Sometimes the sound is a dead giveaway, but other times I get mistaken for a V8 because I tend to pull off hard from the local hangouts... mods got me 5.x second 0-60 so thats v8-ish. :cool:

But on the other hand, I had a race against a 94 sn95 cobra, we raced approximately 1/8 mile, I'm asked what do I have under the hood, sometimes beforehand I say I have an LT1 just so I get enough credibility for Mr. Mustang or whatever to race without hearing "oh i wouldnt waste my time on a v6" etc... or I just say I dont know i think its a z28, like play dumb, then after the race assuming i won I ask, so what ya got in there? I see a 5.0L with a cobra manifold or whatever, then he asks me I play ignorant, i dont know man lemme see, pops the hood, "oh yeah i forgot its just a v6... coulda sworn i had an 8 in there...damnit! " ..heh, true story after racing a 1994 mustang cobra and beating it twice in a row... driving? idk how fast they are.

btw I live not too far from an abandoned dragstrip / runway deal, people race quads and whatnot there too. Street racing causes cancer.
