damn, my car sounds GOOD for a v6!

[stevethepirate]

so i was at work today, we needed the work truck, and my boss needed to run a bunch of errands, so reluctantly i threw him my keys. its pretty much the first time ive ever let someone drive my car. i had to let my mom once, and then i let my buddy take it around a parking lot (he has a 9sec nova and a 10 sec chevelle, so i wasnt worried)
but as my boss pulled away, i heard my exhaust from the outside for the first time! its a weird feeling.

do you guys let people drive your fbodies? if so.... how do they sound from "the other side"?

I only let girls drive my camaro. Doesn't matter if it's a co-worker or classmate. If it's a guy friend, straight up, NO. My dad drove my car couple times and from the outside I loved the sound. Our cars sounds pretty good with after market exhaust. That was one of the buying point when I was looking for a car.

Lol, I know what you're saying. The A/C in my wifes truck has been dead for a while. She started taking my car to work. I heard her backing up to turn around, and the take off down the driveway, and I was like "wow, that's pretty sweet". I rarely let others drive my car though, but I wasn't gonna make her drive the Danger Ranger in 95+ temps with no A/C.

Stock Y87 exhaust, but I've got a 3" in/out highflow catalytic convertor by Carsound. I've got a little done to the intake too, so that might help with the overall sound, I dunno.

mine sounds like CRAP. i think it sounds way too ricer. (but then again i criticize mustang GT's for not sounding v-8 enuf... lol)
i just have a stock exhaust w/ a flowmaster 80 series...

Nobody has driven my firebird, but I let a buddy of mine drive my 1980 malibu and I could hear "chariots of fire" in the background as he drove off :)

i let a mechanic friend of my dad's drive it up on to his lift when we fixed my oil leak so i got to hear it from the other side. I was amazed! It definitely sounds a lot better from outside than inside.

I NEVER let anyone touch the driver's seat of my car, not even to move it 5 feet. As for the exhaust note, it's a stock dual exhaust with the air silencer removed. I've got compliments on it when I'm under full accleration from a stop but anything else it's blah.

most of the time it's waiting for new rods anyway.

Only one other person has driven the bird, and that was after the great fire of '03.

AFAIK, only 2 others have driven the comero...... north of the mason-dixon line. My dad is mac'in in the 'mero while I''m out here in turkey
