Hrm... interesting how (almost) everyone seems to prefer the modern day V8 sound to the modern day V12 (550, 575, Enzo...)

No way the 8's are better, listen to an F50 lol i dont even got words to describe and ive never even heard one in person, when stock i dont think there is any Ferrari well at least in the last 10 or 20 years thats as loud and crazy sounding as an F50. But crazy and loud doesnt necceserilly mean the best sounding.

f355 is really sounds good

findleybeast · 01-12-2005, 04:37 AM

From personal experience I'd say either F355 or 575. Haven't heard too many though so I don't have much to choose from.

CarNerd · 01-12-2005, 05:33 AM

Me neither, my personal experience doesnt span very far either, as i've only heard the 355,360, and 550 in person. And dont get me wrong, i absolutely love the crazy loud sound the F series cars produce (and im sure they are much better in person), i just like the more refined tune of the Ferrari V8 a little more is all.

The 355 sounds pretty awesome. Better than the newer cars. The vids of jabbas with the tubi were pretty awesome.

AaAaAa... i dont have access to those yet? :cry:

I personally have heard all these in person, in anger, and they are in order of best to least best;

1) Enzo
2) 512 with tubi
3) F50
4) 330TRi
5) 550 Maranello
6) 365GTB/4
7) 360CS
8 ) F40 with tubi (I think)
9) 360 with race-pipes
10) 355 with race-pipes

To me the V12s sound MUCH better than the V8s...you guys are nuts if you think a 355 sounds better than the Enzo...the V8s just can't compare, especially when you hear them back-to-back in person!

The turbo cars (288GTO & F40) sound really weak unless they have almost no mufflers...and they are having the crap beat out of them.

The Enzo sounds amazing in person...the best of any Ferrari I have heard...its quiet until full throttle, but damn does it rip through the air at full tilt.

All Ferraris? Then i choose F1. That sound....

Road legal: F50 sounds really good (slightly more gutteral than Enzo IMO from video comparison)

In Person: 575

^- I don't think I could put up with the sound of an F1 car on a daily drive... the V12 from the 575M or the V8 from the 355 on the other hand... mmmm

SPEED_DEMON82 · 01-14-2005, 01:43 PM

Well the only Ferrari's that i have actually heard are Ferrari 355 and Ferrari 360 :cry: . So keeping that in mind, to vote for me is pretty simple....The 355

...but from the videos the 360 CS sounds pretty menacing...and thats what i like

I don't have access to them either. I got them from his server before jabbas world was created. Back in his racingflix days.

No, def not for a daily drive. Many ppl would struggle tolerating a Roaring enzo on a daily basis. But for sheer expression of brute power, unbridled speed and technological mastery - still going with that high revving F1.
