of course not everyone sees this view. but just wanted to make this point as i feel me and you will ever see eye to eye on exhaust sound. for that reason.
Exactly my point as well. But you made comments that seemed like everyone agreed that a V8 sounded better than a I6/V6. When in reality it's a subjective matter and depends on personal taste, cultural preferences and many other variables. Just like peoples taste in music...

Just like a 6 cyl sounds "ricey and soft" to you, so does a V8 to me, reminding me to much of a Chevy Van or a Suburban or a '80ies Trans Am... Not "mean" at all, just a lot of noise and no action

It was not a malicious comment from my side, just trying to voice that some actually prefer a different soundtrack
