^ Fixed.

BTW, you can usually tell. First off, the GS4 and GS43 and usually lower than the GS3. If the GS4 or GS43 is a white one, it's a different shade on a GS3 I believe. The GS3's white is more-so a creamish color. V8s sound cooler than any inline-6.

By first glance .... You wouldn't know .... so it does hurt unless you get to talk to the person or see it up close

I suppose. The guessing game is always fun though.

^ Yeah, but most people can't tell the sound of an I-6 from a V8 if it came out of their @$$.

He means that it sounds like a fart. An @44 doesn't sound like anything.
