Borla ATAK. Best sounding Camaro ever!
« on: March 13, 2011, 12:39:49 pm »
Just stumbled upon this. Borlas new ATAK exhaust sounds incredible.

To skip the basics, jump to 3:30.

I like the ATAK sound, but I don't think I could live with it on a long journey, it sounds immense!


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Don't know that I could live with a Camaro on a long trip either. :)

Yup.

I think I prefer the S-type and Touring over the ATAK, which seems a bit much for the street. I'd have to hear them in person though.

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Even the basic touring version still makes it sound sweet. The more noise you make is directly proportionate to the amount of 'heat' you generate nowadays and that means more  :popo: :popo: :popo:

I wonder what the various price points are for all three - starting from very expensive I know all the way to????? Borla exudes expensive already - how much worse can it get?

I ended up putting the Borla on the RX8 after listening to these clips like crazy.  I only had the one choice...yet really like it.  It's pretty loud...but I only notice when I drive someone else's car and notice how quiet stock exhausts are.

Wow...I listened to the whole thing...man, does it ever sound awesome!

If you missed it, watch the final minute or so of the "out-takes".  Mr Borla shows me a lot of passion as to why his exhausts sounds so darn good.  The whole sense of being more connected to the car..."hearing it breathe".

Me don't thinks these exhausts do very well for fuel economy...I'm with Mr Borla...how do you stay off the gas?

 :rofl2:  An acoustically tuned exhaust is a new breakthrough?  :rofl2:

Guess Mr. Borla has never seen a 2 stroke exhaust, huh?   :rofl:


Nice sound...but flipping through various forums, seems like it has some drone....
