Yeah i can understand why on my mad scientist frankenstein engine thats like 6 engines put together from parts, but i would think since the two are both major companies they would use some of the same parts for the mass production and all. I dunno just a thought.

Re: do chevies have a rumble or a growl?
they both growl to me, just different tones. like the stangs growl is like that of a jaguar, like a high tone growl. maro's sound more like a lion wich is why it sounds more like a rumble than a growl because of its deep roar.

SBC have a sound very similiar to there big block brothers just quieter. It's a much more low rumble than opposed to a Stang.

Thats funny that he says ford and jaguar sound the same, they are affiliates. I have always thought that chevy's rumble, while fords seem to have that dry bark sound to them. I for one am very sure of the rumble out of my z's exhaust.

I was on watch inside privelaged like that i guess. I still say my car doesnt growl. Sounds more like a rumble. Mustangs are throaty like they have larangitis or something. I still love the sound of a well tuned stang though.

throaty is a good way to describe it, it always just sounded like it was pushing out air to me, like it has patches of exhaust followed by patches of air if that makes any sense... i've always preferred my growl to mustangs throaty coughing...
