I have to agree. The Voodoo is impressive but I don't like how it sounds. To be fair, I don't like many other FPC engine exhaust notes either.

I've heard a lot about the LT1 being out dated and other negative things, but it just makes it that much better when I am faster and get better gas mileage.

Why are you looking at Mustang forums?

So little love for the Z/28....

The car wasn't the best bang for your buck but by no means was it over priced considering the performance that you got from it. So a car developed after it was able to beat it for something like $7,000 cheaper...

Also the GT350R beat the Z/28 and not the GT350...... so if the 1LE beats the GT350TP then that doesn't make it faster then the Z/28.

If anything this shows how much both the Mustang and Camaro jumped from the last generation to the current generation.

This^^^ I'd still love to own a gen5 Z/28 or ZL1 but there is no denying how improved the new gen is. Gen6 Camaro wasn't a incremental improvement. It is a monumental jump forward where a SS nears a gen5 ZL1 and a 1LE nudges the Z/28. The next ZL1 and Z/28 will be mind blowing

What?! You are the first car guy I ever heard say that lol. Have you heard many in person? A Ferrari V8 is one of the best sounding V8's on the planet. They sound like a freaking F1 car...

This take is insane to me. One of the best things about that car is the utterly fantastic mix of american muscle + exotic engine notes.

I agree also. The one I was at the track with last time out sounded absolutely awesome.

I'll admit I think the GT350 sounds awesome. But I would never own a ford. I'm a GM guy. Saw one at a car show and they do look good. But I would get the 1LE no question.

What does that even mean? Do you work for GM? Does GM pay you to only buy their cars? Perhaps you have a Chevy tattoo that can't be removed? Missing out on experiencing something cool in life just because it's not branded by a certain company is strange to me.

I've not heard it in person. In every video I've heard it sounded like trash.

Reminds me of the blind AV tests were 9/10 participants would say how much better a set of speakers sound, but the only difference was volume. It's loud, but that's it.

I think the performance 1LE will beat the GT350 in pretty much every way and the fact that it costs much less will make it even more obvious. I don't hate Mustangs but I'm not a big fan of them either, their new flat plane crank engine does nothing for me at all, sorry, give me an LT1 any day of the week.

No I don't work for GM. Lol. Just not a Ford fan. I'm sure I'm not the only one here. Just always liked Chevrolet cars and trucks and always will. I have owned 2 Toyota trucks a Dodge Dakota and now own a GMC Syclone. Call me weird but that's just the way I am. From now on I will buy nothing but GM products mainly Chevrolet. It's just who I am.
