show of hands, who likes supercharger whine?

[dakotawoopass]

No way!

The sound of a high pitched V6 is the way to go!

This is not a Raptor specific question (and hopefully never will be). Ram/Dodge engineers left plenty of supercharger whine in the Hellcat power plant. Is this a turn-off or a turn-on for you? I heard it in a Hellcat Challenger test drive and walked away.

I personally would not buy a TRX if they put $40K in the glovebox, but to each his own. I’ve heard worse - a 2004 Calloway Corvette. The supercharger was mounted just forward of the firewall. The dealer tried to paint it as desirable, but seriously, does anyone prefer supercharger whine over a full throated big-block engine? Dealers sure seem to think so.

LOL you are not into high HP engines but that is ok...... Times do change!

Beg to differ. I am very much into high HP engines, but I dont care for supercharger whine. GM completely removed the whine from their supercharged engines (I owned 2), so it can be done. Just personal preference.

OP said he wouldn’t take a TRX if they put 40 large in glovebox. I am of similar thought on many things. Not ez to buy me. Any time I see people waiting on a line for something I say I wouldn’t wait if they were giving out hundred dollar bills. And that’s true.

And while I prefer turbos to supercharger, I don’t mind the whine. Maybe after a while it would grate on me but I’ll give it a shot.

To me it would be annoying in a full size truck or any automatic for that matter (unless built to race).

I had an 04 CTS-V with a Maggie and I can’t imagine anyone would object to the scream that it let out, having the 6-speed gearbox made the difference for me though, just makes brute power, one of those cars I shoulda kept

I mean I like my turbo whistle and vented BOV.

I’m eying a CTV-5. Whine anyone?
