Best sounding production street car?

Post by lucass81 »

I saw a survey on other forum about the best sounding car divided by nº of cilinders. It would be nice to know what are our preferences. So I will star with my favourites sounds. It must be street and production cars only.

4cyl= S2000

5cyl= Fiat Coupe

6cyl= GTV6

8cyl= 355

10cyl= Carrera GT

12cyl= F50
84 GTV6
96 M3

4 cyl would be a toss up between a V-TEC and the Alfa Twin Cam.
6 cyl GTV6 ( My 3.6 last Friday had me grinning like an idiot...again :D )
My next fav 6 cyl is the BMW M3 CSL and a 997 RSR.
8 cyl easily the F355 with a Tubi not quite standard but.. :twisted:
10 cyl Carrera GT.
12 cyl the Enzo get's my nod but must concur with Barry that TVR 12 is incredible.Breaks my heart to read of the woe TVR is now in. :(

So what's wrong with an open exhaust fire breathing bark and backfire of a rotary in full song howling though a country road at 3 am on a moonlit night waking the dead for 3 miles around and turning on all the houselights on route ?? :D :D

Mr Zee

You have impeccable taste.
Seeing you can hear it from Australia to Malaysia, do you think I should think about hanging the expense and fit a muffler as well? :D

I was wondering why the neighbourhood was all wearing earmuff. I thought it was all to do with preventing frost bite on the ears but I am starting to think otherwise... :D

I'm dead serious about the VR6 engine though. Those things are quite sweet! I just wish there was a chassis to use the engine with...

Rotaries are pretty sweet. A 3 rotor sounds better, but a 2 rotor soudns cooler I think.

I've had a few FC's. Sold all of them after various coolant or apex seals failed :(
