IMHO, a 3400 will sound better than a 3800 in all occasions!Â;-) the V6/60 sound just sounds better.


dude, have you ever heard ANY 3800 from intense racing? a 3400 will never sound like that. ever. the white GTP dyno ranks up there in my top 10 best sounds.

Well, post a link to a sound clip then. I've heard one 3800s that sound nice at idle, but none on acceleration. Then again that's totally personal opinion. Heck, aside from the turbo sound, even the old 3.8s (like the GNs) just sound bad to me, as well as the 4.3s and about any 90° V6. I honestly like the way my 3400 sounds, albeit a bit loud. I've had many people tell me it sounds like a much larger engine.
