In your opinion, what's the engine that sounds the best. Straight 4, W12, V8 it doesn't matter. Manufacturer or exhaust doesn't matter either. Post up a youtube video to show what it sounds like.

Here's my favorite...

4.6L DOHC Ford V8

no matter how much i dislike Vdubz, i will still acknowledge theMkiii Vr6http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCukLxCFV1o

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCukLxCFV1o

best stock sounding motor IMOanyone can throw a sporty exhaust on a car and make it sound nice, but VW did a damn nice job with the Vr6.

Old 1960’s weber carb Ferrari V12 FTW , hands down. From the mechanical whirrings at idle to the deep toned exhaust growl at low rpm, then when you tromp on the gas pedal, the whooshsound when the 6 weber carbs open their throats. Then requickly replaced by a smooth turbine like shriek you get above 6000rpm. Nothing even comes close.



The Carrera GT V10 sounds nice, but it’s so quiet. (particularly when your inside one…)
