What do you guys think the best sounding car is? How do I know Jalopnik talked about this? Well it was the first post that I actually decided to comment on. Either way, I didn't really pay attention to other peoples posts, so I am kind of curious of what you guys think is the best sounding car in the world. I think you know my choice. Second place goes to the Colombo V12. . . every version of it.

I'd have to nominate that nuts-sounding itty bitty Honda that's been posted here a few times. I don't remember enough about it to find it.

Mazda's 4-Rotor, present in the 787B and in some other crazy Mazda racecars.

Super-rumbly at low revs and F1-like at (crazy) high RPM.

Rotaries in general sound nice.

I like to shake things up sometimes. Actually, it was hard to pick one video, as there are so many, even GT's that shoot fire (they're tuned).

My personal experience in this subject matter is limited, so I will comment accordingly.

The best road car I have ever heard was a Maserati Gran Turismo, and it was only doing about 20mph around a small, quaint college campus.

The best race car I've heard was a Jet powered dragster at the NHRA nationals.

It pains me to see blue smoke. You just cannot rev an engine until it is warmed up. (I'm going to get the Ben-Gay now).

Race cars are always the sexiest things when it comes to sound. Soooooo, how about a V12 Lambo race car? Does that convey my reason for choosing it over a 26B?

Oh I have heard, and it is my favorite. The Auto Union Type C sounds nice, but this one screams!

Man you are crazy! Thinking your dream car is the best sounding thing ever. I would never do that. . .

Nope never. . .

Another great, although very different. I love how in sounds like a monster, even though it doesn't scream. Start around 9:00:

You mentioned the FP asking the same question; In issue 161 (in a huge article), EVO magazine asked also. They categorized by cylinder count, and then picked the overall winner. I'm kinda busy today, but I'll scan it for you soon.

Mustang's. I know probably some argument here, but I think all v8 mustang's especially the foxbodies, sound awesome.

I gotta give it to the Maserati Quatroporte in this video. Not necessarily my favorite sounding car, just love the clip from this movie.

Also, good to meet you this weekend. We usually get lunch after c&c so I'll let you know next time when I don't have to run a fuckin obstacle course for work.

I love how choppy the exhaust sounds on those, they have a huge bark.
