Best Sounding Car on Earth

Damn, I really wish I'd got video blasting my old Miata through a tunnel. Hadn't touched the inside of the engine, but the exhaust I built for that car sounded awesome, especially once the engine hit the sweet spot between 5,000 and 7,000 RPM. And especially in a tunnel... with the top down.

Can't even hear the motor over the sound of the turbos.

LOL, massive wheel spin on the dyno!!

I don't think my car is the best sounding car ever, but the mechanics sure love it :/

Now I've been sitting in front of YouTube watching cars blow up on dynos for the last 30 minutes.

Yes, I do have a sony head unit lol. Random

 

[Jakashh]

Nice! the car came with 12 cheapo subs in the trunk, I took them out, and now I don't think I have any bass lol. How do I hook the factory mach 460 speakers back up? The blue wires that go from the head unit to the subs are still there, I don't know what to do with them now.

Wait a minute... what did you hear? I didn't even have the radio on nor did I show the head unit haha

Thank god, because there is no engine that sounds worse than a old choked up V6.

The 2v motors just sound so tinny compared to a pushrod V8. The sound is really hollow. The 3v and 4v motors sound a little better, but they'll never match a good LS-series.

Fixed for ya~

This is a proper V8 ... and the only way you'll ever see a Ford when you're driving a C6R.

Gross. I hate the sound of a 3v. I love their power bump, but I hate their engine sounds. I'll take the idle of a 2v over a 3v any day lol. And my stang has an o/r X and flowmasters, hence the raspy hollow sound haha.

Ever heard a C6 vette with exhaust but stock cams? It sounds like shit. Almost like a diesel.

Listen to this prime example of what i'm talking about...



But i'll have to admit, I love LS motors for their potency for power gain with just bolt ons. I dislike the look of F bodies though. Catfish camaro's, but F body thunder chickens look alright to me. Not great, but significantly better looking than any F body camaro.

But I'd take an 03-04 cobra over an F body anyday. Nothing beats a 4v with incredible blower whine, plus the easiness of just installing a CAI and a smaller blower pulley (+ Dyno tune) and getting massive power gains.


Oh yeah, and if I could, i'd take a pushrod 302 from a fox or a 346 LS1 over over a 2v. But if I were to choose between the pushrod and a DOHC 4v from a termi or N/A 99/01 cobra, I'd take the latter two over the pushrod.

Fixed for ya~

I won't argue but my Tacoma's 4.0L sounds pretty damn good with a Magnaflow. Alot better than my 2.5L Jeep did with a Magnaflow.

SCCA Solo Racing !!!

Most of them are cool, some really cool.

I prefer the classics. Nothing major...nothing exotic...just stock V8 goodness.

I kind of like the growl from my I-4 Rav4 at full tilt boogie.

Ferrari's 12 cylinder stuff sounds OK. Their F1 cars sound amazing.

The Italians perfected engine sounds. Everything from a little 4 cyl Fiat to a v12 Ferrari sound good. Here's a quick montage of the F1 cars. My favorite is 0:48-1:10

Gotta go with the small block Chevy pinning an 8 grand tachometer. Second place goes to a 289 or 427 Cobra. That is some screaming machinery!

The short stroke engines have a certain appeal, though. How about the famous Honda 5 cylinder 125 and 6 cylinder 250 cc motorcycle racers? They've got to be in a class by themselves sounding like really pissed off bumble bees.
