The best sounding car...

shankar.balan · 11th November 2009, 13:17

I think the ASTON MARTIN DB Series surely deserve their place in the sun amongst the best sounding cars!

AltoHoncho · 11th November 2009, 13:39

I voted for "Something else"
I think Ferrari 430 is the best sounding car ever. Rest all are just NOISE (IMO).

vinaydas · 11th November 2009, 15:00

purely by the noise its the ferrari f430 then comes the Pagani Zhonda both the exhaust notes are sweet music to my ears.
On the other Hand i absolutely hate the Veyrons exhaust note and the lambos also come in the same category.

These are the best I've heard till now:

1. Lambo LP640:

Lamborghini LP640 & Pagani Zonda F & Porsche Carrera GT.
Please add the option LP640 to the poll. Many(including me) must have chosen 'something else' 'coz of it's absence.

How come i missed all these old threads! In my opinion the best sounding car is the Mitsibishi Evo. The sheer sound of it is enough to shatter window panes! Louder the better!

samstrikes · 6th February 2010, 13:24

Nascar for me when i was driving one in vegas.. now thats loud... Ferrari 355, also AC cobra 427 brilliant , not to mention Charger SS with a 447 Carb.. man that was sweet.

jagxf · 8th February 2010, 19:51

to me its the aston martin v8 and the v 12 vantage....(the jaguar xf and the xfr too)

stanjohn123 · 8th February 2010, 20:19

For me it has to be the Shelby Mustang GT 500 . Coz I haven't heard the others yet

Scorcher · 8th February 2010, 21:44

What else, The King Bull, Murcielago !!!

@Planet Rocker- Like your baby's notes. Kudos !

vigneshnr · 8th February 2010, 22:09

Of all these I've not heard any. Here is the list of exhaust notes I was fortunate of hearing LIVE - LP640, Porsche Boxster, Audi TT, Audi R8, RR Phantom, Bentley Continental GT, Porsche carrera.

The one that gave me goose was Porsche carrera.. LP640 is pretty close.

You've got the ears that few have! We're in the same boat my friend! The Lamborghini Murcielago LP-640 indeed sounds great, but nothing like the 911's sweet sounding six-pack, boxer motor, eh?

Well,apart from the supercars and souped-up imports,nothing beats the epic V8 burble or guttural scream of the 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T echoing through the vastness of the Mojave desert! Yes,the magic of Vanishing Point indeed..!

Oh yes, the legend Dodge muscle cars. Actually most muscle cars sound awesome. Thew have a very 'raw' sound thereby making them more masculine! But hey, in Death Proof it was the girls who had the last laugh! All muscle cars have better sound than the new high end exotics i feel.
