Best Sounding Engine In A Road Car...

[342Four]

hyundai excel SOHC at WOT and bouncing of teh rev limiter ... or maybe that sounds like metal tearing itself apart

+1 for Pagani Zonda F

and

Ferrari F430

both on the topgear supercar test (they tested Clarksons Ford GT, the Zonda and the F430)

holy crap that KPGC10 race car is mad

+1 for that

OMG that porsche GT.... yuuuuum

[DECIM8]

Masarti V12 .. i HAVE NO idea what car it is .. but every time he sees me at chatswood he lets it rip .. I giggle like a little gurl as the earth quake machine drives past .. stock as a rock .. can get better than that ..

sound similar to a Torana SLR with 20,000 worth of mods or a GT pumped off its tits... u get the idea .. a meaty sound not many cars can make!

[gazza750]

i must be old fashioned coz the sound of a nice meaty 351 cleveland in a gt still sounds like heaven to me

heres one going through the polly pipe in perth

im gonna sound like a total bogan but i like the sound of V8's...

dad had a small block chevvy in our Ford Sierra in south africa and it sounded wicked

(the sierra had NOS first but that blew the engine - lol)

[lingeringsoul]

Maserati don't have any normal V12 road cars

and the V12 they do have is in the 'Enzo-in-drag' MC12, which i doubt you've seen. If you don't know what car it is, how do you know it's a 12?

[bubba]

OK the KPGC10 gets my vote! it sounds pretty unhealthy on overrun or low revs but boy does it howl at WOT!

[342Four]

^^^^i like the startup - sounds like on that F1 video where the exhausts get really hot - it warms up a bit and WOT it screams

Ferrari F50

heard a few F50's and F40's on full noise....GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!!

$$ don't equate to the best aural tones

have any of you ever heard an R/T Charger on song.....i think not!

mind you a R/T in mint condition grabs $200,000 these days

[342Four]

ohh yes - +1 for r/t charger

mmmmmmm 426 Hemi v8 (yes i no, not really the r/t charger engine but very nice)

[scathing]

When it comes to stock cars:

The new Aston Martin V8 Vantage sounds horn. But so does the original TVR Tuscan Speed 6.

Vids of both are on YouTube, but since I'm blocked right now I can't add them.

[R-SPEC]

when it comes to engine sound, ferraris hands down. 360 would have to be the best one though, driven past/next to 360s a few times. pulled up next one once at a set of lights and asked the driver to give it a rev, redlined it a couple of times, there seriously is no way to explain that sound. simply beautiful. the f430 also sounds pretty sweet.

[STATUS]

VEYRON

[Beer Baron]

haha, I was just thinking the same thing. veyron sounds insane. in fact I watched top gear last night and kept watching purely to hear it one more time in the drive by sequences.

some of the old V8 ferraris sound pretty nasty as well. love it.

[WRRR]

Yup that Veyeron (or however its spelt) sounds plain evil in the nicest possible way. I'm with Beer Baron as I have that episode on the PC and have listened to it more than once. But for +$2M it would want to.

Back to the nostalgia stuff an E49 with the triple 45DCOE Weber carbs - ahhhh! That is an induction howl.

Had triple 45DCOE Webers on a 240K (go on laugh - you know you want to) and that still brings a smile to my face even now. Slurp Slurp on throttle opening then an almighty howl and induction reverb as the revs rise. Used to turn heads in surprise. And scare SLR5000 Toranas - not that I would ever have street raced.

Just over 200hp at the wheels was pretty handy to in a car that only weighed just over a tonne as well.

nuff said.

veyron. ftw.

[nachoman]

my old mgb v8

the sound of the fuel injection flaps opening up sounded like a supercharger

also

ferrari 360 - awesome sound of that screaming v8 - certainly puts the sound of holden/gm/ford to shame
