RE: Engine differences

First off:
SN95 v8 has a 2 valve engine, these engines sound GREAT.
SN95 Termenator had a 4 valve supercharged engine
S197 v8 has a 3 valve engine and being a 3 valve it's faster than the 2 but produces a terrible sound
S197 GT500 has a 4 valve but has an abysmally TERRIBLE sounding supercharger.
It's all relavtive though.
Here's a video that proves the gT500 point tough. I'm sure you've heard the shelby exhaust, and the gT500 supe snake has the same mufflers, but with a mcuh better sound:

The difference is ridiculous really. It's like night and day. 4v really does sound better.

RE: Engine differences
I don't know...my old mustang [00] has a flowmaster system and was [until my mom put on cats] catless.
It sounded really good...but I still like the sound of my car.
My car's not as deep, but has a much more "race" sound to it.
I have a Bassani x pipe [high flow cats] and no mufflers.

I love the way the old Shelby GT350 sounded. I watched the vid on jaylenosgarage.com and man that thing was sweet.

RE: Engine differences
Wondering how on earth an extra intake valve has any impact whatsoever on the sound of our cars. Doesn't make sense.
I've heard from several sources that the new modular firing order is different from the pushrod V8, and that's what makes the difference. Any truth to this?

The terminator was not an SN95. The SN95 is the platform from 94-98. The Terminator was a new edge that was released in 03. all previously released cobras were not supercharged

The Terminator IS an SN95. The 99-04 are still SN95, but labeled New Edge as well. The "new" SN95 if you will.
