Even though the McLaren wasn't being driven to it's full potential, love the sound of the race 86. Finally sounds like a Subaru

I hated that vid tbh.  The settings for that 86 were quite off.  The TRD Griffon w/ stock motor at 200bhp would have been faster on that track than the Fensport.  They should have got the Gazoo 86 or Crawford BRZ at least.  This is a better car than that Fensport disaster.

But the sound. Your opinion on the sound?

Lol, I dunno man, it's not a LFA, Aston/Jag V12, or Ferrari F333.  Sounds fine I guess.  Maybe you'd like this for the 86 as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDjsv7GrHRY

These are my favorite engine sounds:

LFA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6D7S2rcyIQ

Haha it certainly is not! I'm not a fan of the ARK exhaust. Iunno, for some reason I tend to like a more dirty sound rather than a more refined sound, hence my liking for UEL headers in subarus over EL.

My favourites are...

Merc CLK63 Black http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WKcB2cwqG8
Merc SLS Black http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oNX4nB3X8Q
Merc C63 decatted sounds dirtier than... I can't think of anything dirtier http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c33wnxuxAKg
BMW E46 w/ a particular exhaust http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUHkDXDRTU8
Toyota AE86 always a favourite. My fav 4-banger http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljeyYlLbcxw

As you can see, I like the noise AMG makes quite a lot. To my ears, the SLS AMG sounds significantly different to the CLK63. To others, they think all 63 AMGs sound the same.

Omg yes the GT40...

When I first heard the Furai I was in awe. Had to buy one asap in GT5.

IMO, nearly all the Astons sound phenomenal. People say the V8 Vantage is too shouty. I adore it.

I definitely like AMG V8s, Porsche flats, and R8/Lambo V10s. Screaming V12s don't really appeal to me like they do for some folks.

I'll be shot if I say this in public, but I'm gonna say it anyway... I never really liked the modern Ferrari V12s, V8s, Lambo V10s, and Lambo V12s. F430, Enzo, 599, and the California were all meh for me. They just sounded too shouty without any definition. Same with the Lambos, but I did absolutely adore the Miura... I think I prefer the Aventador over the Murcielago

Oh for sure, the Aventador>Murcielago in every way. Never liked the Murcielago at all.  Gawd is that rough around the edges for a V12.  For a block designed to be inherently balanced, that thing was pretty shit even at idle.  Audi has done wonders for Lambo.

Greatest sports car interior ever!  True inspiration direct from the Hindu-Kush.

One flick of that steering wheel and my wrists will be broken. Brilliant steering by the driver. Really knows how to drift
