None of them sound as good as that first Vette though (at any time other than at idle though!). Tip: listen to it with earphones on [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Question is, would that be illegal in the UK (from a sound point of view...)

Also, MOSE, I know that's a Z06 but do you know what else its had done to it and what kind of bhp that equates to? It looks monstrously quick - that's one of the first incar videos I've seen in a long time that looks genuinely fast.

I can imagine that Vette on the way down to Le Mans already [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

You can guarantee that the car has had larger maf intake/sensor mod, if not mafless, upgraded larger bore headers, car hasnt got cats and is straight through from headers back. The engine is an LS7 which although is a litre heavier than my LS2 lump, it does have a very distinctive sound anyways. You can probably guarantee that the engine has had a remap as well. The sound is fantastic, but seriously anti-social in the UK hehe [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yelrotflmao.gif[/img]

Bear in mind my car has only had the cat back exhaust and remap done to give it the sound it has. I haven't yet started with the larger bore stainless steel headers, hi-flow 100 cell cats, further reamp and plenum air intake. Oh and supercharger of course [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] But cant wait none-the-less [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img]

In terms of whether or not that is legal in the UK, you would enjoy the monthly Southsea Cruise wher you will hear cars that will make that Vette sound like a Morris Ital. And the owners of said cars, get no problems at all!
