I disagree sol. I don't have boost, and I bring a smile to my face when I shift at 5200rpm.. mmm I love the sound of the engine.. just a lack of sound on the damn exhaust!

I dunno, whine is kinda un natural.

Now Turbo whoooooooosh... That's something else :twisted:

I like my N/A Intake roar. :shock:

agreed... am i the only one here that thinks forced induction is kinda "cheating?" i love the roar of my exhaust at WOT when the motor's grabbing all the air it can get, as opposed to some mechanical device force feeding it. whine is the sound of imported power; roar is the sound of american muscle. look at the 70's! most of the power there was just a big block with a couple carbs and a dual tunnel ram. my ambition is to someday take my NA bonnie into the 14's and beyond. now that's REAL muscle!

When you experience boost, there's no going back ;)

Ain't that the truth ! While my car was being worked on by my Father-in-law, I was using my wife's '99 Century with it's 3.1 ltr motor. Plus I put a K & N filter in her stock airbox. After riding that for a bit and getting back into my blue beast, it was kinda like culture shock! :lol: There is no turning back. :twisted:

Well, what I was thinking was more non car related, like women. Being with a woman is much much better than hearing supercharger whine.

big news: holy crap I want my bonnie to be in the 14's also! I will probably only touch the 15's.. but hey a guy can dream!
