S197 V8 sound
Anyone know what itis about the S197'sV8 engine that makes it sound...hmmm...don't know how to describe it. Maybe burbly is the word I'm looking for. The sound is most pronounced when you let off the gas pedal. I haven't heard any other engine sound like this.

why did you trade an ls1 for this car?
why isn't it cool that they supposedly sound like an LS1?

the LS1 sounds very unrefined and 'airy' which is similar to the 3V 4.6, IMO.

Well no other car sound like the 4.6 3v IMO just as no other car sound like a Fox 5.0 or the 2V 4.6 of a couple years ago. Those sound can't be replicated and it is what make it so unique and well like you said just can't be described yet you know it when you hear it.

because F-Bodys are piles of crap... anything other than the motor only needs to be touched to fall apart.
