What's the best sounding car you've ever heard!!!

I'm talking, one that pulled up to you, revved the engine and caused you to nearly collapse from complete bliss and envy. You know what I'm talking about:iceslolan So, c'mon and share what car produced the most perfect engine noise to you. Or if you haven't heard it in person, but know that it sounds damn near perfect, then please share.

There's guy that lives near me with a newer modded Camaro Z28. That thing sounds so awesome :bigthumb:

I have a sound clip of a Ferrari 250 GTO. Nothing in person has come close to it except for maybe a 600 class sportbike.:D

My friends ex- Z28 was very nice. Also, I've heard a Toyota Supra that sounded more like a domestic with a deep rumble instead of the pissed off weed-eater sound, it was sweet.

yeah, motorcycles can produce some very nice sounds:D

Vintage Saab 96 - there are few things better than the sound of a V-4 engine under load, except perhaps a tripple carbed slant 3 2-stroke!

my grand prix will blow your ears out. this thing has a tone like no other V-6 and makes more noise than any Z28.

Either my step dad's 71' Z-28 or the F40 I saw at Italian week, last week. Both are beasty but I was shocked at the shear sexiness of an F40's sound.

Ferrari F1 Race Car Period:cool:

My race car. :cool:

The sound my VW made when there was a hole in the muffler so I just took it off for a week and just used the header and a baffle... I got a lot of funny looks...

other than that... I can't think of any... I am deprived boy where people with nice cars don't let me come close.

I know what that sounds like. LOL a friend and i have done it before.

Quite a few :)

A "slightly" modified '70 Corvette 454, a '95 850Ci, a bi-turboed 4.2L V8 powered Audi RS6 and a 2.5L TDi powered Volkswagen Caravelle that mr. Hans Dahlback had some fun with :D

Further I have a cd with recorded sound from a V16 BRM race car :sunglasse

Ferrari 333SP for the classic Ferrari V12 scream and Porsche 962. I love the turbo wastegate chirp of a high pressure turbo when braking and downshifting.

I have to agree with the RS6 engine as among the best of the current engine sounds.

Ferrari Enzo starting up and revved up to the limiter. There were about 20 people there and every single one of them jumped back from the sound.

I don't know - I was behind a Ferrari today and it sounded alot like a street-sweeper.

the 550 at full throttle in a tunnel is nice but nowhere near the sound that the Enzo makes.

This is true - point taken.

I would say the sound of an RB26DETT- but I've heard it too much- and it is no longer intimidating- I'll probably say the Ferrari 550 Maranello moving off from the lights at 6000 odd rpm :eek:

Few posts back, i'll agree on the grand prix, my car makes an awesome rev, when the mufflers not rattling. Other than that '69 camaro, old 34 chevy with a truley awesome v-8. :bigthumb:

Any big capacity V12 revving through the gearbox, as long as it is fittted with a 'sports' exhaust. Can't beat it.

:tongue:

As of last Saturday, the Lamborghini Diablo GT! So loud and so powerful sounding coming from that legendary V12.

a ferrari 360, I have to admit I was pissed cause the rear window was busted out

yesterday I was able to hear a 1967 Corvette L88 engine (a 427 ci, or 7L) on a test stand. I was standing right next to it...the straight pipes make it VERY loud. I couldn't hear a thing for a few seconds afterword. the only thing that comes close is the roar of the Prodrive Ferrari 550 at 8000+ rpm :smile:

Its a Tie

My Dad's completely rebuilt 1969 Mustang Mach1 with a fully built 351, and open pipes :)

and

The Dodge Viper that blew past me on the highway, I was doing 60, he was from the way it sounded, at wide open throttle.



:twak:

i would have to say a 2001 Mustang that was built for drag racing but is still street legal. or a 1972 Corvette 454.

I was behind a 550 barchetta in a tunnel when it downshifted to like 3rd when we already doing 100+ mph.. it was absolutely amazing. I cloud of smoke and it was gone. Probably pissed because I came up so close.. Than my friend has a 750 hp toyota supra with a t-88 single turbo conversion. He's pushin' like 40 lbs of boost. Its pretty nice, especially at full throttle.

The best sound in the world comes from a rotary *sigh* <3

my friends Jaguer XJ12. with individual throttle bodies, no cat. if this car is coming up from behind you youll hear the intake way before the exhaust

my friend's fully restored 68 camaro SS

Diablo, stock R34 GT-R and a tuned R34 GT-R (both V Spec IIs). Oh, and the bikes that constantly go past my house :rolleyes: :smile: - cruiser bikes and sports bikes. I've got a highly regarded bike next to my house, one road away, but as I am not into bikes, I don't know which one :confused:

Cars all the way for me :loser:

My friends 78 Trans Am he had in high school. It had a pretty stout 400 in it. Sounded awesome. Can't beat header noise, cam lope, and some deep exhaust. Another good one is a Camaro that is a local racer it has a smallblock with one chamber flowmasters sounds real good.

Being a muscle car man, nothing sounds better to me than a V8 with 2 1 7/8 inch headers, 2 1/4 inch exhaust that splits into two 2 inch, then goes to 3 1/2 inch tips, that thing crackles unbelievbley easy, it's so awesome, as well as other V-8's, the new Hemi's are awesome too. And my dad's 1992 Dyna Low rider with 2 inch Vance and Hines Long shots, without the baffles in them, then he has a more aggressive cam where the exhuast duration is much different than stock, that thing redlines at 5 grand, and I revved it to 3 grand and my ears popped, they didnt go back to normal for about an hour, and my friend who was 10 feet from it ran away from it and started yelling at me for it, you have to wear ear plugs when riding it.:biggrin:

im going to have to say my camaro ss ive never heard a ferrari rev or a lamborgini once i heard a 89 testarrossa sounded kinda like a street sweeper like a sucking noise

my car with the right exhaust and intake sounds MEAN. It has a pretty wicked V-6 and was actually voted one of the best sounding stock engines behind a Porsche and Aston Martin.

either my car, an r34 skyline i heard in vegas, or the audi r8 alms car i heard and watched at leguna seca and sears point (infineon now)

A V-8 engine with 180° headers sound pretty good. A lot of circle track cars use them. A high revving V-8 with a good set of headers leading into a large 3 or 3 1/2 SINGLE exhaust pipe with a big flowmaster or superflow muffler sounds similar. Both have an exotic high-pitched sound quality.

6 cylinder Boxer engines between 4000 and 7000 RPMs sound great as well.

I'm not a big fan of V-6, I-4 or I-5 engine sounds.

My 73 SD-455 Trans Am. Cam, round port exhaust manifolds into 2.5 pipes. through dynomax muffs.
I ain't kidding, I would get wood when I first got it and idled.
Would run 12's in the 1320.

My best friend's got a pretty mean sounding '92 Camaro RS, but it doesn't hold a candle to my uncle's '67 Plymouth Belvedere GTX. This thing's got a 440 in it, and it had no mufflers the first time I heard it...it's enough to get my adrenaline pumping just -thinking- about it!

My '69 C10 sounds pretty mean with its new exhaust system!!!

I was at a gas station fillin' up and this guy in a lamborghini pulls up at like 50 mph and downshifts and stops real fast. It was like a big roaring jetplane, . . .i thought i was dreaming. :icesangel

Too difficult to choose one. Diablo / F40 / Vanquish / 993GT2 all sound great

The best motor that I've heard is a 572 Chevy with a ton of mods. That thing had to have made at least like 1000hp and it was in a truck. The truck is my dad's friends, so I get to see it everyday. I just love that deep American muscle sound. :grinyes:

Omg, I just heard a turbo Ferrari F50 (No, not in real life. I downloaded a video of if from Kazaa.) My heart nearly ceased when I heard that thing. I thought it was gonna lift off of the ground or something when it accelerated. You have to see it if you have kazaa (Just type in Ferrari F50, and look for Ferrari F50 turbo or something along those lines.) I would post the video for you guys but I don't know how.

The best sounds I think, are my next door neighbor's 1970 Chevy Corvette Stingray, his Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, and BMW's 2001 7-Series V12's. Also What I really liked was the sound of a Ducati bike passing by on the highway. :grinyes:

I got a new one for ya, a modified from tractor pulls, 3-4 V-8's on there, when your 50 feet away and it's at 9 grand with the three of them, and you can't hear yourself scream, it may damage my ears but I love it, when you can feel those things at full throttle from 50 feet away, oh man. Also there was a 2309 cubic inch V-12 rolls royce, holy crap.

twin northstar Eldorado, thing screamed, everyone looks at it when you drive down the road.

the infamous Datsun 510 from old SCCA trans am racing has a good sound to it as well.......

-my neighbor's 2002 Ferrari 360 Spyder...this thing has a blood curdling 8000 rpm...it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end

-and his 2001 corvette convertible (this thing has a S/C'd 7.0 liter LS-1 racing engine under the hood and a borla cat-back)

-idk who owns it but iv seen it around, an old nova ss wit a S/C'd 572 big block wit straight headers

Mines R34, Any 911, and ANY Ferrari Motor

I got a new one to love... Just heard a Dodge 4x4, with the hemi badges roll by..... and the thing had to had 3 1/2 to 4 inch chrome tips on the thing, and the pipes looked about the same size...... damn thing rumbled my car....



but hands down best sounding engine..... Rolls Royce Merlin engine from a P51 Mustang ;) (yes I know, its not a car.... geesh)

My MI16 Supercharged Peugeot 205 :evillol:

The best but heard it only though TV, the Tiger Z100 WR. Two Kawa engine singing in tune... just out of this world.

Otherwise, the espace F1 as it is so weird to see a people carrier with such a high pitch.

My MI16 Supercharged Peugeot 205 :evillol:
I would love to see a picture of the engine bay.

original shelby cobra daytona (coupe )........ the sound of one going past at 200 mph is like nothing else on earth (or off earth either)

Otherwise, the espace F1 as it is so weird to see a people carrier with such a high pitch.


An F1 engine in an MPV. Insane :bloated:

An F1 engine in an MPV. Insane :bloated:
Renault Sport had also a similar project by putting the V10 in a twingo... a V10... in a twingo... now that's what you can call extreme insanity :bloated: :bloated: :bloated:

Holy crap! Did this actually happen?? :eek:

Unfortunately not. It was only a full scale model presented in 94 at the paris motorshow but I can't find any picture of it... still looking though.

Make sure to post in the Renault forum if you do!
