The Narrow angle V requires the cylinders to be staggered allowing for a single head!
Creates a very exotic sound and good low end torque!
2 cents...Our engine really only sound "OK"

For a 2.7 liter or whatever it is, the VR6s do sound fierce. Still, a VQ37 with the Greddy Ti-C system sounded superb.

VR displacements range from 2.8, 3.2, & 3.6...I still haven't opened my Z up with other bolt ons so I do expect the VQ to start sounding wonderful at that point!

among the best 6s iv heard are M3 CSL, the 996 Carrera S, and the MKV Golf R32..

our Z's quite nice on start up, but i dun find it to be the 'best'..

I'm in love with the sound of my car.

I think this thread is going to be an opinion based one.
In my personal opinion, the best 6 cylinder stock exhaust is from a G35 Coupe/350z Coupe.
Modded exhaust sound holding the stock sound note would be 350z with Nismo Exhaust. That's my opinion.

But changing a little bit the topic, best exhaust sounds EVER, Ferrari 430 and Definitely Porsche Carrera GT mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. lol.

Years ago I had an old school BMW E30 with an M20 2.5l that sounded really raspy and mean at 7000.

Gotta show love for the Supra MKIV...

A buddy of mine had a '95 supra with no exhaust....sound tone came straight from the headers....it was loud but the sound was nothing less than harmony.

I grew up in upstate NY. Summertimes, most Saturday nights would find us at the dragstrip, damaging our hearing listening to big American V8's ripping up the road.

I love my Z, but at full tilt the engine to me sounds sort of... broken.

Best sounding six I remember was a Pontiac ohc six with all the goodies that was cranking out 11's at the track.

[NOSTALGIA]I love my Z but for sound I guess I'll always compare the sound of any vehicle I own to the first car I drove at age 16 - my brother's 1950 Mercury with a flat head 8 and glass packs. Sweet music.[/NOSTALGIA] Ok, I'm back now.

I always wish my Z would sound more like my Mustangs. The Z sounds decent. Not bad, but not great either. My 4.6L mod motor sounded greaaaaaaaaaat

I started a thread on the best sounding cars of all time in the "other vehicles section":

Best *sounding* cars of all time

I didn't post any V6s, 'cause you all are doing a great job here.

The thing that drives me crazy about Porsches is that they just suck at idle. Cars that cost that much should be impressive at startup. They just sound like Veedubs.

Best 6 cylinder sound to my ears are the inline s.

G Fo12ce · 11-28-2009, 05:50 PM

Best sounding 6 is the RB26DETT inline-6 from the last generation GTR's. With cams they sound amazing.

gnarf · 11-29-2009, 12:55 AM

ive heard a GT-R with meisterschaft exhaust in person...it is unreal and sounds better than most Lambo's and Ferrari's..the VR6's sound great too..the Porsches are tooo quiet
