Re: One hell of a V8 noise!
I notice they had to go back to the petrol station in that first clip... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: One hell of a V8 noise!
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]

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! |

Re: One hell of a V8 noise!
Hehe that's one scared looking eskimo binman [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
Mose, the big question - how many ponies? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] That looks like an easy sub 4 sec car - its bloody mental. I've just watched it again with earphones on and with the notable exception of the idle I just love everything about that car [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img] How much would one be here... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/coffee.gif[/img] SB, the Le Mans Vette dream has 4 pipes on it like catering bean cans but for some reason its not really that noisy...

OK, how's about the noise of THIS Camaro? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] Sorry but if that Z06 'Vette is God, that Camaro is the Vicar of Dibley [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: One hell of a V8 noise!
Molly,
The car will be getting there in under 4 secs as stock, so god knows what time is getting there in with the car modded the way it is. And expect about 550-600hp, more with the mods. Also expect to pay £40k+ http://www.bauer-millett.com/controller.php http://www.corvette.co.uk/ http://www.americancarimports.com/ Am told by a previous Z6 owner (now a Monaro owner) that any one of these places is THE place to enquire!!! |
