thats because Ford has a true dual exhaust...2 headers, 2 cats, 2 mufflers, 2 pipes
GM uses 2 headers, 2 cats, 1 muffler, 2 pipes
but any American V8 does the trick for me :D

I would say the Zonda....
saw one in HK and when it started, nothing compared to the sound of those muscule cars ..... V8s don't even come close
however, the girl hit her head on the flip door while trying to get in... hahahahaa..... that was so funny....

but it has to be the zonda... that sound of the engine I can still remember. Modena's sound cool too....
but R32 to R34 turbo sound also turns me on

ShyGuy 03-06-2003 10:24 AM

the Zonda is basically the Mercedes V12....

BLITZ2k1 03-06-2003 10:31 AM

1> grand national with nice turbo upgrade...psshhhh
2> Most exotic cars... 360 modena, lambo etc.

4> Top Secret Nissan skyline....twin turbos. PSHHHH ZHOOOM!

Every day cars:

1) Supra Turbo (2jz) with an open exhaust and single turbo.

2) Supercharged/Blown V8's.

Exotics:

1) Ferrari F40
2) Ferrari F355
3) Lambo Murcielago at high rpm.

Engines I hate:

Any four banger with a fart can.

Like this?

Front Straight Supra

I can't say Ford V8's are my favourite mainly because they're so common, they do sound good though but if GTR2002 is true to life, the Prodrive 550 Maranello sounds awesome.

Prodrive 550 GTS Maranello

I love the sound of my Mach 1 but for a 4 door sedan my SVT Contour (with removed resonator!) was AWESOME!!..... I kinda miss it some days :crybaby:

Veleno 03-06-2003 10:33 PM

Honda lawnmower with a titanium cat-back and CAI after it crosses VTEC.

Never heard one? Listen to a Civic. :D
