Chat about all things Bonneville (and related cars). Off-topic stuff should be in the lounge, and all mechanical problems should be posted in the proper forum.

Coulda had a V-8! ;)

Post by STAGE III »

Haven't brought my home yet due to the rain and a malfunctioning sunroof(will be my 1st 6cyl 3800 Supercharged car) so was doing some searching on You Tube to see how one does, and could, sound and clicked on this one.

I swear I thought it had a V-8 at 1st with the Corsa exhaust and nice rumpidity, Rump cam! Niiiiice

Is this someone here's car? I am new so sorry if someone has already posted it.

Can wait to get mine (2001 Ssei) home and start enjoying it!

Congrats on the car!

The cam really helps the sound of the exhaust. Also guessing he had headers if he has a cam, well I'm my opinion you should. And yes they made a good amount of 01 Ei's.

They 04 and 05 Bonne GXPs came with the Cadillac Northstar V8s.

And a V6 will NEVER sound like a V8.
