Default Best sounding car in the world?

What car do you guys figure makes the best noise? If I had to pick one, I'd pick the Ascari A10. It sounds remarkably like a NASCAR.

The best sounding car I have heard was in the late 60's it was my first look and experince with a funny car, back in those days they sounded much different than they do today.

If you ever heard the lope in a larged camed car, magnify this by 10, the lope was so pronounced the car jumped the whole car rocked side to side, it's very hard to discribe but I will never forget it, I only have a tiny pic of the car I will post it.



There is a 17 year old me somewhere in this pic as close to the car as possible..

I love the sound of a V10 with exhaust. The best so far has been the Porsche carrera GT.

My favorite is a cammed V8. Nothing like the lope of a pushrod V8 with a big nasty cam

Big block Cobra on a dyno was pretty cool. Of course an F1 car about twenty feet away from me accelerating out of a corner got tears in my eyes and stood the hairs up on the back of my neck. WOW

That's a tough one, I love a cam'd V8 car, but I also like the sounds of say a F40.

I was gonna say, I've never been a fan of Mustangs, in fact I hated them back in highschool, but nothing sounds better than an old 5.0 with Flow Masters.

Best exhaust note for myself was when I swapped out the blown 301 in my Firebird and starting it back up with the mildly built 400 w/Blackjack Alumakote headers and Cherrybombs hooked up right at the flange.Was sweet music to my ears.

All the mechanical noises out of a Ferrari F40 LM sounds pretty sweet. This thing hauls around the track. Cool video.

Out of any car? Impossible to say, since there are ultimate flavors of different types of cars that can't be denied. I definitely love to hear engines that can REV and a turbo with open wastegate is always a bonus!

Track cars:

A '90s Ferrari Formula 1 V-12
Ferrari F40 LM V-8TT

Street cars:

Zonda (Mercedes) V-12
Porsche Carerra GT V-10

I hate the sound of Scoobies.

For someone to even nominate that little thing for having the best sound, uh....
