do chevies have a rumble or a growl?

I was just checking to see if my car was added to the showroom on the superchevy website. I checked out a couple of other camaros. One guy said he was adding a 3" flowmaster exhaust to his car for the growl.
I have always said that chevy's rumble and msutangs growl. That is the way that i distinguish what kind of car just wnet by without looking. I like to think that my car rumbles.
Both camaros and mustangs have distinct sounds. I jsut decided to label them.
Just thought this would be a good topic for random discussion on the best camaro forum on the net.
Just wanting to know what everyone else thinks about my rumble growl theory.

Re: do chevies have a rumble or a growl?

Damn,
I thougth that was dubai. I have pics of a safari I went on there. I was telling the driver that the other drivers were better than him and telling him to go faster and higer in the dunes than everyone else. We ended up in the side of a dune. One tire got knocked off the rim the bumper was half way off. The landcruiser was basically buried. I had a blast.
Beautiful place to visit. Are u from there?

Yeah even with my 89 C1500 with a gutted cat i did and a magna-flo muffler it sounds a lot more like rumble than anything else. Why is it that they differ in sound even with trucks and stuff but then most V8's and everything that are in either one have a different sound...? oddly worded but oh well heh.

mustangs growl because their bark is bigger than their bite.

Re: do chevies have a rumble or a growl?

the sounds could be different for a nearly infinite number of reasons: port size, port shape, valve size, valve shape, piston shape, valve lift, valve duration, intake type, exhaust manifold manufacture, y-pipe design, length of exhaust, size of stock exhaust pipe; to name a few...
