Bems Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Does it have to be V's? M3 CSL is a great sounding 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Agreed. Think Arran is being a bit optimistic with adding the 350Z in as best sounding V6 though Edited May 11, 2014 by Ekona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arran Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 The Z is a properly nice sounding car Dan regardless of wether we own them or not. That's one of the reasons I bought one I did forget about the NSX though still not enough to take top spot away from le Z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It's really not, not in the grand scheme of things. It's muted and a bit thrashy, even more so in the 370, which is why we all buy exhausts and intakes for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arran Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Not many oem cars sounds brilliant unless it's a super car etc, i agree on the stock z front though but when an exhaust/intake is added it really is up there. Just like the e9x m3 stock sounds pony but exhaust on and it's glorious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Disagree, stock V8 on that car sounds great, as did the straight-six before it at full chat. Stock Impreza sounds good, so does BRZ86, Exige V6, Focus RS etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the reasons I bought one I did forget about the NSX though still not enough to take top spot away from le Z sorry Arran, but have to disagree, the zed engine has been one of the most dissappoint sounding engines I've owned. Its not a bad sound, but its a long way from being the best. If I'm honest even with exhausts etc I'd put it as an average sound. Not dull, but doesn't set my heart a light.

Jaz 350z Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Now this, is we are counting modified cars, is almost perfect imo 355 with tubi exhuast. Issue is, its not "dirty" enough for a modern v8, ie, c63 amg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suits Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Where as I do appreciate a deep engine, I still do prefer a screamer as an absolute choice. One of the reasons when it came down to it, in which I finally went for the 370Z was the fact that the engine had a bit more legs in it than the 350. R32's sound very nice when pootleing about in town for a V6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32's sound very nice when pootleing about in town for a V6. see this is where personal preference makes this a very subjective subject. When I w's at a top gear roadshow a few years back, tiff needell did an engine noise section. He had a range of cars lined up with different engines and got them to show off. And it was very interesting. Cars I thought I'd love the sound of did nothing. For instance I learnt that day that Ferrari engines don't excite me. He had 3 there.and although they all sounded good, I found the note to highly tuned and screamy. Yes they were loud but their v8 and v12 did nothing. Where as the lazy tuned audi v8 in the spyker set the hairs on the back of my neck off. As did the mambo v10 the maserati v8. So if you think a 355 with tube is nice, try a maserati or limbo with a tubi. Sarnie will defo vouch for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamic Turtle Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Off the top of my head and extremely loosely: V6 - cheating but the 997 GT3 RS flat-6 is the most "motorsport" sounding engine I've heard. Not hugely sonorous but extremely....purposeful. I understand the love for the Zed note but ultimately it's a Jap V6 trying to be an American V8. V8 - Maserati (GT, 4200 etc). Or the whatever they put in the De Tomaso Pantera - American block, Italian acoustic tuning. Mama mia! V10 - the LFA has to take this, hands down. Batsh*t mental. V12 - nothing springs to mind so I'll be unimaginative and vote for an Aston something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
