Default Best Sounding Ferrari

Sorry if this is a repost... In your opinion, what is the best sounding Ferrari of all time?

My vote goes to the 355 F1 Berlinetta

well i dont think there is such thing as one. I believe each car has its own best sound. I dont think a 355 that sounded exactly like an F50 would be right, I dont think a 360 that sounded like a 355 would be right, I dont think an Enzo that sounded like a GTO would be right etc etc.

I'm pretty sure this has been asked before, but in any case I'd say the 360CS is the best sounding Ferrari

My personal favorites: 355, 360 CS, F50, Enzo, 430, 512 TR and the F1 cars to name just a few....

Oh yes, now I can rant about good sounding Ferraris

Not the 355 F1, it makes a fart noise when shifting. The 355 is definately the best sounding modern one.

Let's not forget other modern Ferraris with a great noise though, 360, Testarossa, F40, F50, 348, 550...

When I was at Spa last year during the Ferrari Days I've seen loads of classic racing Ferraris too. There was this old 250 TdF (Tour de France). It made the most fabulous noise I've ever heard. I loads of videos of it, and every pass I was stunned with its sound. The 250 SWB's and 250 GTO sounded pretty damn good as well.

Just wish I could get those vids online somewhere, ah well for now you can contact me on MSN...

That's a great question, but not one for which an answer can be given easily! I love the noise of the classic 250's, but for the modern Ferrari's, it would have to be the 355 or the 360CS

Hmm.. It's a hard question. I think the Challenge Stradale or the F430 is the best sounding Ferrari. I can't choose between them

For me, the F430 is second to none as it is not merely as screamy as the previous cars.

I think it is a toss up between the F50 and the 360cs. They are both amazing~!!
