Hay Z28CAMARO4life, what the heck does that have to do w/ anything?! Soooo, if the 5th gen comes w/ a s/c 600 hp motor, you would say hell no b/c a Camaro never came w/ a s/c? I guess you wont get a new 5 gen anyways, Camaro's never came w/ DOD before!

Uh, first of all, that appears to be a scale model. I could be wrong, but it just doesn't look right.
Second, those cars exhaust notes sound awesome only because they rev so high. Limit that same engine to 6000-6500 rpm and nobody would say it sounded good.
Third, I said show me a V10 that sounds "nice". You know the friendly V8 burble at idle that begs you to get in and drive? That's what I want, and AFAIK, nobody has replicated it with a V10.

I don't have any sound clips but from what I remember it sounds sweet. I think Bob has one that he posted in the past.
Here is a thread with a Ford V10 Mustang if that helps.

Corsa, or any other high end exhaust with a crossover makes a Viper sound amazing. The problem with them is from the factory they have no crossover, so you are actually hearing is 2 5 cyls. I believe Dodge might have addressed that with the newest Viper.

While I wouldn't mind seeing GM do a V12 mid engine concept/prototype just to show up the likes of Ferrari... I don't see them ever sticking a V10 or a V12 in a production Corvette, let alone a lowly Camaro.
