Wide Open throttle
 

Sounds so good. It motivates my soul. It doesn't sound like any other vehicle I've driven (outside of a select few track cars). What do you think has the best sounding engine at WOT? My vote is my 986, with the 5.2 R8 as a close second.

You clearly know nothing of American muscle and 180 headers...

:-)

if you can get it started ;) I would take any euro over american anyway

Yeah, the sound of an American V8 can make you heat beat faster.

but I have to give the best tuned sound to Ferrari.

Lexus LFA then Ferrari in a close second.

Difference in taste I guess.

400 hp 400 cubic inch american V8 with 4 barrel carb, headers and glass packs
WOT - when the Secondaries kick in, it is a very visceral sound
With header-ed exhaust - it is deafening. You can not have a conversation and you can hear it miles away. Kinda Nascar, kinda American Graffiti

That was my first car. You never forget your first
Just stay away from twisties

This might be considered cheating but nothing compares to the Ferrari V12 from the 90's

That's cheating for sure, but what a glorious sound! :cheers:

Ah, back when F1 was a real sport! Very good!

Best sounding car ever!!!!!!!
Went to many F1 Races Detroit, Phoenix and Indy

My favourite sound will always be Porsche flat-6, fullstop :D

The other sound which I will never forget was from a Mercedes AMG V12 Pacecar at a F-1 Race some years ago here in Germany.
Forget all those F1 engine sounds, just painfull loud crap.
But that V12...YAWDROPPING...it sounded like a low altitude flying ME-109, unbelievable!:eek:

+1. Incredible.

1970 plymouth Cuda AAR
1970 dodge Cornet 440 HP
1970 Corvette LT-1 with factory side pipes

I wish I still had them.

A thread like this and 15 posts in nobody has mentioned the 917??? Disgraceful!!!

j.fro your car sounds magnificent! Bravo! :cheers:

What muffler are you using? Never mind. I looked at your garage, that's the muffler I want to go with.


.

Think this is a better depiction of the LFA not the sound on the ring.

To me that video is worthless. I don't want to know what the engine sounds like sitting still and being revered up or running trough a tunnel. I want to know what it sounds like under load out in the open.

But from this video the car isn't throaty enough for me, to tin sounding to me. Difference in taste I guess. Although in the LaFerrari video I posted it did sound like a baby crying at one spot. :D

In deed. Don't get me wrong I love a sound of any Ferrari also :)

Antilag gives me a Woody! It's not the sexiest sound, but I love the rawness of it. Makes children cry and adults run for cover.

+1 on everything said here. Boingggggg

V10 Yamaha Judd engine in a B198 Benetton we had at a F1 driving experience school I worked at.

+2 I was lucky enough to see, hear and feel the 412 T1s on Ile Notre-Dame...Montreal.

The video doesn't do the sound justice....you wouldn't belive what it was like to watch, hear Alesi and Berger spank the 412. I would liken it to a moving symphony of 40 trumpets on full song.

Belive it or not other other F1 drivers would take time to listen at various point on the track....my favourite spot was the flimsy bridge right over the main straight. The V12 would come right through your chest cavity.

Sadly a year or so later the V12s were gone

There is no symphony better than a racetrack full of Porsches.

As you can imagine it sounded even more awesome in person as opposed to the cell phone recording.

Check out the 1:00 minute mark.

A few of our forum members were at this one...Topless, Thstone, ???

The last Mustang I built was a '68 GT Convertible. 302 w/351 heads and ITB's. With the Shelby headers it just sounded incredible. Like a loud pissed off growl. But agreed, a track full of air cooled screaming Porches... That's a symphony!

And there is no symphony(?) worse than a track full of unmuffled Mazda RX-8's. :barf:
At WOT, that's the worst sounding car ever. YICK.
