Nuh uh! My stock KA with a 5 inch Apex'i/Hiper/Walmart Foldger's Coffee Can is so deep and harcore, y0. I sound like real muscle when I go speeding out of your neighborhood at 80mph because I'm just elite like that.

I would say a ls-1 or a chevelle 454. I love the sound of europeon aftermarket exhausts. BMW and Porsche in particular.

i never thought very much of the RB26 motor sound wise...

big displacement makes pretty sounds in my opinion...smaller motors dont sound as sweet

Oh come on! An RB with both turbos spooling up has to be one of the sweetest sounds ever! I actually like my bro's 1.8T (Audi) and my SR20 sounds awesome for stock. Those two are, of course, realistic engines that sound good. It's hard to beat a Ferrari whine, a Porsche... not sure how to describe it, or a large-displacement V8 (or Viper V10). There are a LOT of nice sounding cars out there, just some are more realistic than others.

THE RB30DE HYBRID. I WAS LISTENING TO THE SOUND BITE FROM THE NISSAN RACE CAR THAT HAD THIS AND IT WAS AMAZING. NOW IF YOU ADD THE TURBO WISTLE IT WOULD BE EVEN SWEETER. WHEN I GET MY RB30 PROJECT FINISHED I'M GOING TO HAVE TO RECORD IT.

Cammed V8s sound evil, but I wouldn't call em sweet. As for piston engines, I gotta agree...L6s sound the bomb.
