And that 10-speed auto shifts like a champ. Wow. This thing could be an impressive beast.

Not to be outdone, the rev matching in the 6 speed sounds great too.

Late entry to the most metal new car. The supercharger is a like a Rob Halford scream, with a Lemmy bass and vocal rumble. All while looking mean and being Fast as a Shark.

That thing sounds like Chewbacca making love to a nest of hornets and it is glorious.

I grew up a Chevy kid so I'll say it. Mustangs look so much better now. Happy to have a healthy debate about it though!

It sounds way better with the manual than the automatic for some reason. (and the automatic video’s audio was quieter than the manual one...what are you saying here, Chevy?)

Unpopular opinion: Loud whining superchargers sound too much like bad power steering pumps and I don’t like them (but quiet, barely noticeable ones are fine).

Not that unpopular. I don’t like how turbos sound either.

The difference in audio between the two vids make me suspect the camera might make it sound a bit worse than you’d hear with the bass of the exhaust drowning it out.

I have to say I think this might be a Camaro I need to take out on a test drive.

Yeah, that surrender in audio is one of the main reasons I don’t put much weight in recorded car sounds. So many differences and variables depending on microphone type, quality, and location, ambient conditions, as well as speaker and driver type and quality for the listener.

Rev-matching is sex. I don't care if it's cheating. Makes it all so much easier.

I think I’d actually take the auto in this one.

The more I think about this, the more I agree.
