Default Which sounds better?

1968 Corvette 427 with mild cam


2014 C7 SC with tons of mods

My wife hates both but I like the old muscle car sound until I punch the C7.

It's a close call, but hard to beat the sound of a C3 with a 427.

C7 sounds best. The lopey cam sound is fun but can't beat the C7.
