Thats pretty cool, I think the legal limit here is 100db for a road car. I wonder what my stang was at when it had straight pipes, that was pretty friggin loud.

f40 is the loudest no way, i think the 360 is even louder from out side of the car,


any way this test doest not mean it has the loudest engine note, just because it is taken from inside the car, the f40/50 have nothing for sound dimming, so that is why they are so loud inside the car.

I reckon it may be higher than this. I remember this car being banned from one of circuits in the Evo magazine Car of the Year events - reason: it was too loud...

I am sure the Mclaren F1 is also up there in noise....

Loudest thing I ever saw on Top Gear was the Spyker - they had to use subtitles so we could understand what the reviewer was saying as he drove it. :shock:
