Mazda 787B @ 200mph+.

ETA: Plenty more of those where they came from – what would sir like?

my old mini, when the friend who bought it off me visits i can hear it coming from a couple of roads away and it instantly makes me grin wildly and a hundred good memories flood right back 😀

top fuel dragsters, you can feel the sound shock waves effecting your body.

I started a DB5 once, the sound was amazing, Astons have a lovely growl. I quite like an original beetle too.

This.

Even driving round the pits the hairs on the back of your neck stand up;

at full chat it screams;

i still think a tuned bike with a naughty can sounds better than a car….altho i did have a v8 mustang years ago in canada that sounded very cool

Panoz GTR-1. Ear splitting V8 that you could identify from a campsite 2 miles from the track.
Ferrari 333sp. Such a silky smooth V12 tone

Will try and get some clips when not on my phone.

I saw/heard the 4 rotor Mazda engine in it’s last race at Le Mans. It was certainly an interesting noise, too much like a jumped up Dyson vacuum for me though

I used to a 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle with a 454cu LS6 engine, 454 bhp and just starting it up was estatic! on tick over is sounded so menacing. i sold it to my mate in order to buy my first house but I only have to hear an american big block chevy and the memories flood back!

bobby………… a mate of mine runs a tl1000 with a pair of akropovic cans on it, he sends it down the road on its back wheel and sets all the car alarms off on his estate

AJP8.

Autounion V16

Actually as a visual spectacle this one runs the BRM close;

42 litre Bentley flame thrower;

not many people get a round of applause for letting their car idle for a bit 🙂

That 787b is something else, but I’m also partial to the Gumpert Apollo

Nobby – top man for suggesting the Mazda.

How about a BDA Escort full chat on a forest stage – hearing it in the distance going up and down through the box as it gets closer, before bursting into view round the corner in a hail of stones and engine noise – makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck every time!

Got to be a GT40…

takes me back to watching them at Oulton Park when I was a kid. Though this ones a bit different to them 😀

Not a big car fan, but a pals just bought this..

by god it sounds good.

His has a red leather interior though.

Mk1 Escort Mexico I had sounded ace and shook every window in the house on tickover 😀

Showing my age here …

Another fan of Escort Mk 1 & 2,

Lancia Stratos,

Quattro

and the Metro 6R4 always had a distinctive note !

any group N rally car 😀

Good thread!

Old – ‘Audi Quattro’ Rally-Car

New – ‘Pagani Huyuara’ – 700+ HP customs AMG engine with twin turbo – just short of orgasmic 😳

The Old American Block V8 as fitted to Range Rovers, Rover SD1, Aston Martins etc – just that lazy rich burble.

Favorite incarnation of it would be the AC Cobra..

Story goes that Shelby (the man) when selling his first Cobras stuck a $100 bill to the inside of the windscreen and told customers sitting in the passengers seat, if they could reach it before the car hit 60mph they could keep it…

subaru 2.5 (with a ‘normal’ exhaust) driven lazily just sounds lovely to my ears.

almost (but not quite) a bit like a spitfire – effortless and burblely.

nothing loud or clattery for me please.

OT – why do my videos never post as vids

Best sounding would be an Aston, even if I would rather have a Ferrari given a choice.

I wonder how many people know what an AJP8 is ?

Heard a few on a tunnel run last weekend, also great on the over run.

The sound of cars being put through a crusher ?

theres a mum opn the school run with a TVR Griffith 400 with Straight through pipes, that sounds amazing,
used to reguklarly see a chapo in the village with a Toyota Hilux with a Blown V8 in it, intakes out the bonnet job, has the joy of hearing it at Full chat going up a two lane section just out of town,

stumbled into rally of cornwall some years back, Metro 6r4’s sound Very nice!!!

An original Mini 1000 or a TVR

Has to be Mercedes AMG SLK, the one they use as the pace car for GP. It sounds like the space ship from the modern Star Wars films 🙂

Mrs Crispos dad has a 1971 Jaguar E Type. The sound and smell of this car is rediculous!

Double post. Soz

Any of the rally cars with anti lag 8) hearing that in a pitch black forest then the marshalls whistles ……… just brilliant.
