Ok let me be more specific. I have been in or driven a sb (aka Little block302 and 3.8 turbo) and find it to be fun to drive and ride around in. Almost like a production car with a louder exhaust. The BB I have not driven or ridden(sp) in. They sound mean, rude, brutal,etc. at idle. Its great but does the loud Melody as Ikestaa put it sometimes get to you during long rides. I also understand that in fifth gear it will simmer down a little. But driving around town it may be too much.(gears 1-4) I need an honest answer here. I don't want to get a BB if I am not going to drive it due to sound. Notice I did not call it a noise!
I want to drive this car a lot due to the fact I live in the Midwest. I also understand that it is part of my reason for having the car. I guess I'll just have to ask a few people to take me for a long ride and see how i feel. I think I just answered my own question!

Its good to talk thing out. If you have more input please go ahead and....input.
