Bronco DelayedI think you're a bit confused. The sound something makes and how loud it is are two very different things. Bagpipes are very loud but the sound that comes out of them could be used to extract information from the worlds toughest spy's. It's horrible.
I'm speaking directly to how a V8 sounds. Many years ago my good friend had a 2014 F150 with the 5.0 V8. In a rather basic, mid level F150 it was a symphony. Just a wonderful sound. It wasn't loud, just pleasing unlike the 3.5 EB we test drove. When his lease was up we test drove again as the 2.7L was out and we both laughed at the noise it made. Ultimately he went with another 5.0.
You also seem to think that a V8 and power are mutually exclusive. Like you, I also love having power on tap and being able to accelerate quickly. Where I live, there are times where I will find myself on long back roads between farm fields and I'll just run my vehicle up to the speed limiter just to hear the engine and feel the rate of acceleration. I get it, it's fun. But by no means is my V8 powered vehicle slow. It scoots.
I will agree on the fake noise though. It's truly bad. I think The Straight Pipes did a review of an Edge Sport and when they put it in sport mode it activated the fake sound system and it was comically bad. However the diaphragm on another friends 4.6L Mustang that piped intake noise into the cabin was rather cool. It worked very well and sounded great.Sun, 06 Dec 2020 17:48:50 +0000
