Car with best exhaust note?

Lately, I find myself lusting after a Merc SL55 with its badass exhaust sound. Unfortunately, SL55 pricing is surprisingly strong, and I find myself wondering what else is out there. Can anything match the burbling exhaust and supercharger whine? The machine sounds like a thousand angry horses. jurgen

IMO, there is no sweeter sound than a Ferrari.








Any Ferrari.

Ran into an acquaintance last night who had his brand new F-430 w/ Tubi exhaust with him. Sounded insane driving away, of course he gave me some tire and exhaust sounds. What a freaking car.

I like the sound of a Ferrari, but I'm also partial to a 3.2 Carrera with a 2in/2out.

not for those with ADD, you have to sit back and relax to listen to this: 1953 BRM Supercharged 1.5L V16

EDIT: and turn your sound all the way up.


My 69E at 7K is mighty nice. old 84 Targa with test pipe and M&K #1 one-in-one-out was wonderful.

Carrera GT is amazing.

I've never heard a V-12 anything that sounded bad, ferrari, lambo, whatever.

Most any old sportscar with Carbs and no cat.

Almost any and every Ferrari sounds amazing.

For Ferrari sounds, this is hard to beat. I'm sure that you've all seen it several times, but I never tire of watching it.
