My wife's DD is an H4 Legacy (it's listed under my avatar pic and is the 265 HP turbocharged 6-speed manual model), and the times when I can hear it the clearest it still sounds like one of those slow little German cars. Getting used to that one single aspect of that car is going to be a long, slow process, and I'm 3 years into it already. It's probably because my early exposure to H4's was aircooled VW's that the sound does not come across to me as being pleasant.

An H-4 would sound better with a single exhaust.

All of which might still be moot for the Camaro, as opposed engines are a lot wider than inline or V engines.
