Agreed, the C6 is a sports car that is well beyond the crude motor city muscle cars. Moreover, the C6 should sound like something other than a Caddy or a Buick. As to what it should sound like, well that's a personal choice. The cool thing about the C6 is that it can sound like what the retro knuckle dragging, muscle monkeys like or that upbeat, sophisticated sports car rasp and pop baritone sound. I like the raspy sound your looking for and is represented, more or less, by the Corsa Sports; however, to get that true rasp and pop you will probably need to build your own exhaust with Monza Cans & Tips. The C6 will never sound like a F360/430 or a Fiat, for that matter, but you can get it close enough to please.

F*ck! Whatever, the C6 is a 6L V8 not a 4L V12...it is a high displacement chunk of AMERICAN MUSCLE....are you telling me that a sports car....screw that!!.....super car, can't be a muscle car? This engine is designed to have a big hairy pair, not sport a cashmere sweater tied around its neck.

I'll take my panty-dropping throaty exhaust, over the euro fart any day.
Corvette is an American Icon

Let the Ferraris sound like Ferraris

You know Lamborghinis and Ferraris are way more expensive right?

There's a HUGE difference between ricers, tuners, and Ferraris.

1st off ricer exhaust sounds like crap, not like Ferraris.

2nd, actual Honda huys whom put a lot of work into their builds have fast cars that sound nice.

And last, Ferraris have legendary exhaust notes, that Vettes' naturaly don't have, it's doable.

The problem isn't the car...it's the OWNER. There's nothing wrong with the sound of a big, powerful Chevy V8.

No they aren't European sounding at all.

They are the antithesis of European sounding cars (they actually give a lower, more muscle-sounding car). If you want a European sounding Corvette, then just buy a C7.

This would be the best solution, cheap too. All you need is a CD and a few good speakers, an amp would help!

If you really want the ferrari sound change your crank to a flat plane and get it to a good tuner.

thanks fellas.
Swap the engine out for a flat plane crank coyote engine out of a Shelby 350R. Or better yet, sell your vette and just buy the mousetang.
