Oh god, exhaust sound!! wrong thread, wrong thread. Wrong sound. Sorry guys. Gotta run.

But I heard a Ford GT car and it roared pretty nice.

Will have to be the diablo and the vanquish for me....personally think the astons's better (read: louder) than the diablo

Well for me i have never heard any of the above, but wen i was in South Africa at the MB Service center.. i did hear the Mercedes Benz SLR...
Damn the minute that guy started his car it sounded like he had started a jet plane !!!!

narayan · 23rd September 2006, 17:43

maxbhp · 24th September 2006, 08:23

We had owned one till around 1992 . I dont exactly remember the sound , but I remember my Dad doing 140 kmph with ease .

dustDevil · 24th September 2006, 10:04

A Viper for me...... Only heard it on TV though! Heard a Mustang in flesh..... sounds really good!

Totally agree to what you said about the Premier Padmini. i just love the exhaust note of the Premier Padmini not because i own one...but in general. infact the exhaust note from a stock premier padmini S1 is mind blowing. no comments about the ones with custom made glass pack / straight thrus with headers - perhaps the best sounding cars in India.

love the sound of the opel corsaz and astraz.
