Vash. V-6 sounds like ****? Wow, you don't know much about race inspired V-6's.

And exactly guys, no one says the Genesis V-6 engine is the best but it's far from the worst and if he had it readily available and has the tools and know how, why not?

I must agree that VQ engines sound like cows. I have a VQ35 in the Infiniti DD and the damn thing sounds like a cow too. This applies tot he VQ37 also, but they seem to have more rasp. My friend that used to own a G35 (upgraded to a 335d) agrees on the mooing also .

VR6 and the C30A/C32B sound more exotic IMHO.

Interesting - imagine this swap with the new Mazda V6 in the 2011 mustang? Thats an interesting Granny's speed shop style swap in a few years down the road for you know -- the 'other' rx8 you have floating around the house.

I had a g35 and agree VQs are a little over the top. It's pretty much the same with 3.8 genesis, maybe even worse. But a well put together v6 like the c30A in the NSX 🤩 its symphony to the ears.
