so i hear people on videos pronounce ecotec like this, echo-tec, but i've heard it from the dealership and from what i first thought, i pronounce it like this, e-co-tec,

so whats right?

eco-tec

so your saying its pronounced echo-tec?

I've heard it both ways from different folks...

Met the NHRA GM Race Team and they called it echo-tec...

While at the Bash in 03....GM there called it eco-tec...

I've said it both ways...prefer eco-tec




Eh...old man with a Corvette now...it was bound to happen sooner rather than later right?

ya i prefer to call it and hear it said e-co-tec

ecotec

ahh it makes more sense since eco-tec means emissions control optimisation technology

i dont know, kinda like ecosystem isnt echo-system
but e-co-system

oh well

well thank you for the clearification : )

i pronounce it e-co-tec as well

i just call it the kinda slow one...

but all the gm dealerships ive ever talked to and all the nhra shows i've watched where they race the ecotec, they've pronounced it echo-tec




GO PATS!!!

i say it like the alien of E.T.

I say echo-tec.

I usually just say "eco" and leave off the tec, it seems every brand has there own "tec" nowadays

i think if it was 'echo-tec' it would be spelled that way - echotec
i'd go with eeeecotec...but since it IS an acronym or whatever you call that E.C.O. stuff it could be argued either way is right, one way just sounds better....eecotec

it's like how different folks say potato and tomato....different strokes for different folks


Project Resurrection is in full swing!

haha ya

well i figured, sorry to bring this back up to the top btw i was just reading a bunch of random posts and i found this one again

but ya i figured it was pronounced eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeecotec because of the E. (emissions) C. (control) O. (optimisation)

i dont see an H anywhere to have it be pronounced echo tec

which to me sounds so @!#$ dumb

eeeeeeeecotec man

oh well...

I say it either way, depends on my mood. But i guess i say echo-tec more often then e-cotec.

echo tec

i believe there was a thread on here somewhere that stated GM's preference for pronunciation. if i get bored enough, i may just look it up.




coming back in 2008...

Lord, that had to have been what...3 years ago? GM's engineering came out and said it was "Echo-tec".

I hate this arguement when it comes to pronounciation; there is a thing called long and short vowel sounds. Not everything is spelled as it sounds.
