Super VXer
I'm trying to find a way to describe what I hear... To compare to another vehicle, I had a 99 Firebird (V6) that had a fairly deep burble when first started or revved. The VX is not as loud or deep but still has a nice, throaty, sports car tone. The VX engine is louder than any other vehicle I've owned. I haven't often been outside VX when someone else has driven it, but I never though it sounded unusually loud.

IMHO, it should not sound this loud. It just makes me nervous. Also, it is hard because you know that chances are you're never gonna run into someone who owns a VX to compare. LOL!Originally Posted by RickOKC

Ha ha... that's the truth! I had to make a 500 mile road trip while shopping to see another VX (and also meet another member, Workmeister.) Later I found a local VX for sale (it was an abused half-wreck so that wasn't a good framer of reference.) Then had to drive 1,000+ miles to Moab to meet a bunch of other members and see about a dozen VXeseses. I thought most sounded just like mine except one or two owners who intentionally bought louder than stock mufflers.
Hey, do this... Click "Quick Links" in the menu bar and select "Members List." Then select "Search Members" and "Advanced Search." Fill in the 2-digit state code, select Search Now and THEN click on the "Last Visit" header to sort. Repeat and check other nearby state codes until you find someone who is a member willing to take a quick road trip and meet another member. Good news, only 15% of VX owners are biters / zombie virus carriers!
