what engines noise that you can't stand

the anti-thred of Turbo6bars thread


Viper V-10's I've yet to hear one that sounded "Right" it just doesn't do it for me. I do love it's power and all...but the sound of it is just not there for me

a Civic with a "bullet" (fartcan) muffler. (really pretty much any car that the kids are putting those stupid mufflers on these days)

Those loud, obnoxious harleys. I'd love to have a horn on my car loud enough to make those guys soil their pants.

The Quad 4 GM engine from the 80's. It sounded so rough, like it had no oil in it.

Nissan 350Z and Infiniti G35 cars. Obviously they tuned the exhaust system to achieve a certain tone but the combination of pitch and loudness just make them sound like a constipated Ferrari.

Agreed. It's a sound reminiscent of a UPS truck. Quite terrible.

Personally, I can't stand the riced up 4-bangers with their AngryBee((TM) fartcan exhausts.
