I used to have a 7 litre 427 Cobra and I've not heard anything that really compares to that. It would bring you out in a sweat just listening to it
It was roadtested by Performance Car and was awarded the accolade of "Britain's Scariest Sportscar"
The original GT40 also sounds fantastic.

For shear character, you can't beat a V8 for sound.....IMO

Unfortunatly ST, not everyone on here has had the pleasure of listening to these engines in full flight.

Some of us can only dream.

Fair comment TB!

There are some cars not on here which will sound incredible such as the monster 7L Cobra (Paul B) or the BRM V16.

Has anyone ever seen the car created back in the 70's with a Spitfire engine under the massively elongated bonnet?

I bet that sounded ridiculously loud! Runner up - 2009 Best Avatar Award

I remember seeing it on Blue Peter If I recall correctly, Rolls Royce made the owner remove the RR grill from the front of it. I later saw a feature on it in a magazine.

That was a monster

That's the fella Paul!

An absolute monster - looked a bit like a cross of an extended Reliant Scimitar body and a Rolls Royce front end.

I always liked the raspy M3 six... but as others have said you can't beat a V8 rumble, the Cayenne S & Turbo sounds great as does the RS6. But a lot of that is down to exhaust config.... hmmm. TVRs always sound like they're out to conquer the world. The BMW V10 sounds great at higher revs but sounds a bit uneven around town....

Nice one Jay!
Out of all the cars I've ever owned, two stand out for noise. Both Pontiac Firebirds, both 1971's. One a 350cu in (5.7 litre) with headers and cherry bomb exhausts 320 bhp and the other a 455 HO Trans Am (balanced, bluepriinted 7.4 litres of muscle) putting out over 400 bhp. The noise of those V8's was absolutely fantastic. Yes, they handled like 10 ton trucks on slicks, and wouldn't stop, but we are talking noise here, not handling. I've always had V8's - can't beat them in my honest humble opinion.
Ahhh, those were the days - 7mpg if I was lucky!!!!

I think the BMW X5 4.4i sounds really nice, NO DON'T SHOOT ME
I don't really like the sporty sound of an M6 or an RS4.

Talking about engine-sounds, does the RRS 4.4 V8 make a nice sound?
Probably not as good as the S/C, but I'm more interested in the 4.4 V8
