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!

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?

^^^^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

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.

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.

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.

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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
