Posted 18/06/05 09:09 AM Share Posted 18/06/05 09:09 AM Admit it though Rob, V8's sound soooo good.u mean a boss v8 though?? 'cos I reckon it sh!ts all over the ls1 sound.. I dunno about you but I reckon the sound of a turbo gets most hearts racing here, I know it gets mine. Go the T!!The boss V8 sounds wicked from the factory, heaps better then an factory LS1. Simple exhaust mod changes that though.simple exhaust mod to the boss v8 would change it back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mercurysteve Guests Posted 21/06/05 10:57 PM Share Posted 21/06/05 10:57 PM One thing I do miss Ben was the LS1's roar under load and even at idle with the exhaust I had custom made for it, I'd drive it round the block just to get my jollie hearing it (NOT really ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds wicked. I am going to take my car for a drive now that I am thinking about it The way petrol prices are ATM, I cant wait to get the company car.
