I thought I would post this again since the other thread had a bad link so here goes, http://home.t-online.de/home/carpass...55spider_c.mpg

hope it works

 

best engine sound IMO is a Ferrari F50 flying through a tunnel

 

V8 muscle car engines

 

In terms of ordinary cars you will see on the street (and this does not include Ferraris), I would say a Porsche Boxster sounds pretty good. It has the classic high strung yet torquey motor sound. I love pulling up to one next to the stoplight even though I know I will lose the race, I get to listen to one sweet revband.

 

Agree!

 

Any Camaro/vette' V-8 with an aftermarket exhaust. Can you say vroom vrrrooom.

 

I've driven one before... really got to play with it... it isnt just a great sounding engine!!!

 

i was thinking something more along the lines of the vq...

 

My freinds old 1967 Big block 427 vette Damm u cant even hear urself in it or even around it

 

Well, I'll save this OT thread from the doom of being locked by saying the VQ is the greatest sounding engine of all time!!!

 

V-12 Maranello Barchetta

 

I really like the sound of an RSX-S when its above 6000 RPM...

 

"the vq revs like no other engine this side of a Ferrari V-8" I forget where I saw that but all I have to say is

 

I think it was Road and Track who said that.

 

F1 1500cc turbocharged 1500hp engines at full 10,000 rpms wail. Nuf said.

 

The 99 and up Ford Mustang GT, and wonderful sounding engine!

 

1994 Twin Turbo Supra gets my vote.

 

MmMMm 1500HP

 

actually make that 17,000 rpm, now thats wound tight.

 

 

what!?

 

The run inbetween 14,000 and 20,000 RPMs is what I heard, who's up for seeing the F1 race in september at Indy, I am getting my tickets in a few weeks

 

F1 engines 3liter's,10 cylinders,18,000rpm and 700hp+ of pure fury.

On a side note no manufacturer list's the spec's of any of their engine's.In other word's all that is known is that they are 3liter v-10's.The other information is just "assumed".

 

Durango's 5.9 and AMG's C43 ain't too shabby either.

 

I have always thought the VG (3rd gen stock) engine sounds so good, it sounds "brawny"....It also has a very distinct sound, I always can hear one and know it's a Maxima before I see it. I even think it sounds better than the VQ, not when revving, but when simply working. When revving, the VQ is about as good as it can get however.

 

I have pics from the Infiniti Sponsored INdy car last year in Florida, boy where those things loud(I could hear them whining on the track from a mile away- no exaggeration)

 

You think they're loud? I live 10 miles away from a dirt track, and when they run the sprint cars, etc. I can hear them at my house. No joke! My sister lives about 1 mile away... Damn that's annoying on Fri and Sat nights, hehe

 

Can anyone else confirm it was Road and Track who said this?

 

Nope R-34 Skyline with stage 3 kit is the best sounding motor in the world you are all wrong.

McLaren Mercedes V10 in my sig. Heard it in person last year -- revving to almost 18,000 rpm in qualifying trim. 3 liter naturally aspirated V10. I have to say it is the most insane sound I've ever heard. Nothing like 850hp in an 1150lb car. They sounded like they were about an octave higher than anyone elses, until I found out they were running some kind of funky exhaust header that gave them that sound.
Other than that, a high compression big block sounds nice...

 

I've been going to Indy for years (everything from F1 to IRL to CART before that). I know that place like the back of my hand. If you need any info let me know...
