And the old Holden 308/304 V8 and Clevo and Windsor V8s.

Personally I like a nice big radial engine.

ferrari 430 spyder tunnel blasting @ 80000rpm.

desertcolt07, Aug 5, 12:39am
i prefer the 430, more of a savage bark

After all this - isn't it the exhaust that makes the sound!
That replica 66 Shelby Convertible link sounded crap, because it had those crap tin-can mufflers on it.

Just take the note of a standard Mini, and then put a Cooper exhaust on it. The engine hasn't changed.

632 bbc on n2o at full noise, don't get to hear it often enough unfortunately. My sbc daily has a nice burble to it though, would love it to have that highly tuned 'crackle' sound, will have to find some $$ and convince the engine builder to get it sorted one day.

1957 Moto Guzzi 500cc V8 @ 12000 rpm.

The Ford V8s (at least the older ones)

The Chev ones Holden uses have never sounded very good to me

crzyhrse, Sep 13, 6:46am
Yeah, right! You might as well have a stationary engine - at least they're useful!
