I dont know what they're complaining about. The supercharger whine is the best feature of my L. It definetly turns heads when you floor it and everyone around looks to see what that loud whining noise is

Well... look at the idiot giving the review:
My brother pulled out ahead at first, but then his 140 hp max (air intake and full exhaust) was no match for the 380 HP Lightning engine.
The car comes stock with 125HP, but he believes that an air filter and fart pipe adds 15HP.

Everyone knows that Airfilter and exhaust increase HP by 12% in any vehicle... LOL

I hate dumb people.
SRT-10 has a rumble? More like a buzz.
You can only hear the Silverado SS b/c the truck is so slow the exhaust note stays with the truck.

Have they ever heard a Pontiac GTP when they run more boost, it sounds like our L's

A stupid is what a stupid says.

4 cylinder intake...

Typically make greater than 5hp on a 100hp car.

Have you looked at some of the factory plumbing on these things? It would confuse the minotaur.

The factories build these complicated intakes to kill reverberations, but it seriously hurts performance as well.

The whine is one of the best things on the truck when driving. It also is what stands out from every other truck on the market.

Of course the whine makes them uncomfortable... it is the sound of POWER and they arent used to it...

I just dont get it... every since I was a kid I have been in love with the sound of a blower screaming. Never did I dream I would one day own one... with a warranty!

Goddamn this is a great country!

Well maybe they should hear my truck whine after I plugged up the blowercasing holes

This was my favorite:
Well its just too bad that Ford can't make a "sports car" or "sports truck" any faster than any of the competition without a SC
Well the only other sport truck (production truck) that compete's with the Gen2 L's has a turbo on it, so his sport truck theory is shot to hell. Also I believe the Gen1 L's run the same time or around the same time as most other production trucks on the market
