The Best Sounding Car Ever!
 
What is the best sounding car ever?
I'm putting a poll on there, because I have never done it before and I want to try it ... but feel free to post messages with what I forgot to put on there.

stock civic w/ a huges ass rice can! :roll:

Johns 01-07-2004 12:08 AM

the Zonda has a sick ass sound!

racer_f50 01-07-2004 12:10 AM

where's the Ferrari Enzo? in my opinion that's got a beautiful F1-style scream :twisted:
makes me shudder just thinking of it...

oh, and the F50 GT1 has an incredible sound as well, it's like a chainsaw combined with every other really loud violent noise you can think of. enough to give you nightmares
:shock:

Toronto 01-07-2004 12:28 AM

well for that poll, um m3 and sl55 amg should not be on it,
well since i like the sound of high rpm, the 360 should b up there, Enzo and CGT,
and my pick well since i havn't heard every engine, my fav is the BMW F1 engine the v-10 screams, and the nearest thing is the CGT, and worst sounding engine, well that must b the Toyota F1 engine it the sound of metal on metal grind and a slight backstreet boys, next time your at an F1 race look out for it

Vansquish 01-07-2004 12:28 AM

I think you might've forgotten a few choices...the Carrera GT is amazing...the Ferrari Enzo is nearly as wonderful as the Mclaren F1 if not more so...the 360 Modena and Stradale are both amazing as well...and Alfa Romeo's 3.2L V6 is sonorous too...the Ferrari Testarossa is fantastic (the more recent Flat 12's in particular)...the F50 is beautiful, as is the F50 GT1...the Lamborghini Diablo and Murcielago are wonderful as well...and for V8's...the Ford GT is nice, but the 4.6L V8 as used in the Mustang GT and in several smaller manufacturer's cars (i.e. the MG SV, the Invicta S1 etc...) is a better sounding engine to my ears...and perhaps the two most beautiful sounding engines of all time...the Aston Martin V12 as used in the Vanquish and the DB9...and the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 V12.

That can only be a 1954 F1 car: the BRM V16 MK2

mrzonda 01-07-2004 12:50 AM

As far as road cars go, for me, it's one of three cars: Zonda, Macca F1, or CGT. I love the deep throaty roar of the big V12's in the Zonda and F1. And they do it without sounding stressed. The CGT, however, sounds the most like an F1 car to me. Yes the Enzo and 360 Stradale sound like F1 cars, and they too make great noises, but there's something that the CGT has that the other two don't. Not sure what it is, I just like it better I guess.

yg60m 01-07-2004 02:22 AM

From the propositions, i choose the Macca because i'll always remember the first time i saw Tiff accelerates in second on Top Gear.
For pure sound, the F50 with a MS Racing exhaust (Best Motoring 2000 special) or a 355 F1 let me an unforgivable memory.
For race cars i adore the Matra V12, the Mazda 787 and Ferrari V12 (from wich the F50 is derivated) but i never heard the BRM V16 :cry:

levensnevel 01-07-2004 02:36 AM

yg60m,

BRM V16 and much more 'music' to your ears :fadein:

might be an alternative

nchs09 01-07-2004 02:47 AM

i woulld have to say a Miura.... that lambo just screams!!!

yg60m 01-07-2004 02:59 AM

Ah ok, thank you levensnevel :D now i know ... it sounds like a V8 that would have f..k a V12 and then done a baby call V16 :wink:
Nice sound but i always prefer the Matra and Mazda. :fadein:

levensnevel 01-07-2004 03:05 AM

YG60m,

when you have D/L'ed the long version: just put up your headphone, turn up the volume to the max and listen the recording from start 2 finish. Unsurpassed :mrgreen:

yg60m 01-07-2004 03:13 AM

OK, i promise :wink:

jakaracman 01-07-2004 03:51 AM

Lancia Delta Integrale Evo ...

ESR_balla 01-07-2004 05:20 AM

F1 McLaren

stradale 01-07-2004 05:33 AM

From this selection I choose the McLaren F1, but it isn't the best sounding car ever.

zevolv 01-07-2004 05:39 AM

If you have ever heard a TVR Tuscan in person you will be amazed at the almost orgasmic sound it can produce (My cousin bought a Tuscan R 6 months ago. He lives in England)

WhiteP 01-07-2004 06:28 AM

Ferrari F355

1zippo1 01-07-2004 07:30 AM

I think I can't chose really one.

I love the low grumbling sound of the SLR, the spitfire sound of the SL55, the screaming of the zonda and the low sound it makes when the revs drop. I love the sound of the 360 stradalé and the metalic noise of the M3CSL. I like the brutal sound of a TVR and the F1 racing sound of the Porsche CGT. And the lemans car like sound of the McLaren. But if I really had to chose just one I think it would be the zonda!!

Chingachgook 01-07-2004 09:12 AM

I love the F355 sound, maybe the best sound in a street car produced in "big" numbers.
The stock 360 is not that good, I prefere it with the Tubi Style, or better the Stradale's sound.
I just love the F50's sound, a proper F1 engine in a road car, impressive!I love that car, can't describe the thrill SHE raises on me.
The Enzo has a brutal, drammatic sound.
The Carrera GT is like a F1 car, but not like the F50. The TVR Tuscan R is so brutal, aggressive...
And the Speed Twelve is..well...can't expaline myself the terrible noise it makes, frightening
The M3 CSL is WAY better than standard M3 thanks to the new wxhaust and the intake system.
Zonda's sound is so deep the walls rumble.
I don't like the Mecedes' sounds, if I want a real thunderous V8 I'd go for the Vette unit

astonmartinandy 01-07-2004 09:37 AM

Sound
 

I have to say that I think the old Ferari 250 LM and GTO's had the best sounds ever. The classic video clip of those going through the hills in Monte-Carlo is amazing!

ferrari550 01-07-2004 10:26 AM

A poll for best sounding car ever and no ferrari?? thats a bit tricky.

pimrusis 01-07-2004 10:31 AM

Sorry Ferrari fans!! When I was making the poll I couldn't decide which of the 5 or 6 best sounding ferrari's to put in. And when I was lying down to go to bed I realized I hadn't put any in! Dammit. It would have been the Stradale Probably.

ghost rida 01-07-2004 10:41 AM

Definitely Eleanor :D

SFDMALEX 01-07-2004 11:19 AM

The 575M. When I herd it on the street I thought Im gonna piss my pents. It's louder then anything else, it has that V12sound with that edge of the stradale...

Fleischmann 01-07-2004 11:35 AM

The most beautiful sound in the world is the V12 engine of an Aston Martin. It's just music to my ears :)

Wide 01-07-2004 12:42 PM

Stuck between SLR and 360..
Nothing can be compared when supercharger starts symphony on SLR..
As well nothing can be compared with 360`s screamin..

HeilSvenska 01-12-2004 09:47 PM
