Why do V6's sound so lame?

===============================

I can understand that.

Also sounds a bit like a Motorcycle. (This is good!)

Is it a 3.0?

===================================

Yes, that does sound great, but what IS the cause other than spinning it up to 10k and adding a big turbo to it? (along with a few other choice pieces)

I wasn't able to tell much about it other than a turbo and a nice sound. Can you tell me what I was listening to?

Thanks,

Forward it to the 5 min 10 sec mark.

=============================

Any idea the hp and torq of that engine? I like the ITB's.

Thanks,

I'd love to have that sound in a affordable reliable package.

SR71 is probably not a bad guy just a big fan of Southpark

============================
Yes, that was it!

Hey, I resemble that remark!

I have laughed at South Park a time or five myself.

I just hate for the harley guys to have the false belief that harley is winning on a level playing field in psb when it simply isn't true. the rules disparity is akin to super stock vs pro stock. let everyone run by the same rules and harley wouldn't even place.

it was about things that sound like crap....like mazda rotary engines.

===================================
At least we have an American motorcycle company.
===================================
Any ideas on what the issue is regarding the sound of American 3-6 cylinder engines?

==============================
What engine can you imagine sounding and running great in a 1st gen Camaro, other than a V8?

(I don't actually have a CR500 or a Banshee)

Personally, I love the sound of inline sixes and V4s. V6 engines sound way better once they are built a little bit. A lot of the sound has to do with compression, displacement and RPM too.

There's a fabricator up here in the Sacramento area who has a RB26DETT in his 69 Camaro. It runs but doesn't drive yet. Should be pretty awesome if he can find the time to work on his own stuff and finish it.

================================
I'm interested, can you elaborate on what a "RB26DETT" is? (Sorry I'm a product of public schooling)

Anything on youtube about it?

Thanks,

Ty

BTW: I do have a '87 CR500. That bike rules off road if you can figure how to stay on it.
