Turn your speakers up to 11

If I can get my car to sound anywhere close to that I will be a happy man 8)

V8s just have that great sound. Small V8 or big V8, they all sound great.

So many people waste their money putting big exhausts or cannons onto 4 or 6 cyclinder cars...and they sound utterly aweful!!!

So many 4 cyinders emulate the sound of a blow fly stuck in a bottle.

A V8 on the other hand.... :D

i've listened to that clip 5 times now on the headphones at work. Just the first 35 seconds. i'd like that on a loop as my ring tone!

a turbo straight six can have a mean roar when it's set up with a nice header. log styles just damp it down too much tho.

Love the sound of a v8. I am trying to own and run all engine types available (its a long quest :D)

I currently have a boxer 4cyl in my impreza and that also sounds nive. A different noise to a normal 4cyl and much nicer than a saxo with a fart can on it. And its also got the power to back up the noise :)

Just got my V8 started on manifolds only and it sounds awsome. Im going to try and keep it fairly unrestricted so you can hear it coming.

I used to own a V12 xjs.. at full throttle through the bryn-glas tunnels on the M4 it was fantastic.. a little too thirsty for my liking.

I had a V6 ex-plod Omega.. nice enough but a little quit. But it moved ok :)

Rotary next for me I htink, or a straight 6!
