So, what cars (make and model) do you think sound the best? And why?

I love Misti Evo's with a sick external wastegate!

The sound of an R32 GT-R getting thrashed is like watching the best porn film for me.
But Subie's boxer packing its punch comes in close 2nd.

Can't go past a Mitsi-Hence why i'm jumping back in one.
And as much as I hate to admit Subbies and Vtecs come in a close 2nd and 3rd. I must say in a Vtec I do enjoying hearing the Vtec kick in rather than just feeling it kick in in the Levin *Shrugs Shoulders*

subarus and skylines :D although there was one rotor wagon here that had the deepest, slowest pulse that just oozed power you could feel it coming a good couple of minutes before you heard it then hear it about a minute before you saw it

Subaru's got a real nice sound, Vtec does sound cool but thats more to do with the intake? They don't sound as good with a big zorst.

My corona used to have 2 foot of 3 inch pipe and a 4wd Jeep coby in the middle, Sounded real good :roll: :lol:

8's are what do it for me. Nothing beats the rumble of a powerful V8. I love it :D

Bah

1st place for me is any 1750 powered alfa romeo being wrung out past 6000rpm

2nd is any ferrari v8

jappers dont sound nice, some of the v8s are ok, but jappers sound like shit compared to a euro car

id give my right nut if my mr2 could sound like my old alfa romeo

Pretty much any Japanese turbo inline 4 sounds tractorish (think 3SGTE, 4G63, SR20DET)

I dont care what anyone else thinks, but the quick brap of a PP motor really does it for me...when I first heard Stu Lawton's 323 fire up (I was approximately 5km's from the lock ups 8O ) it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

I do quite like the sound of a stupidly cammed V8 pretending to idle, and also EJ20's sound mean, especially with headers...yummy!

...how about a Toyota Straight 6 twin turbo with absolutely NO exhaust :lol: :lol:

I personally do like the deep rumble of the EJ20 or a big twin carb V8 ideling in pulses like they normally do :wink: :wink:
