Yes but a V8 Ferrari (especially the cheeky 355) would have more of an F1 note with a higher pitch than say an Enzo or an F50.?
I know Drews (Cactussed) 355 almost blew my eardrums out when he did a full chat fly-by past me. IIRC his is around 130db.Edited by jenzo on Wednesday 15th September 14:28

The F50's engine is actually out of the Ferrari 333SP LMP-class race car which found it's underpinning in 1990's F1 car. It's the maddest baddest engine I've ever experienced and it was sheer "balls" that Ferrari had a go at sticking it in a road car. You can tell from the volume and sheer mechanical noise with a straight out pipe that it was never supposed to be on the road. It means I've never heard anything louder. 355's are glorious but sound pretty weedy with their Tubis/Capristos etc by comparison. New V8 Ferraris sound like loud farts.Edited by jenzo on Wednesday 15th September 14:28

Agree, it's got to be F50 with full tubi. It is a REAL F1 sound from REAL F1 derived engine, with all mechanical noise etc that goes with it and not manufactured just to sound like F1 as with the V8 systems!
ferrari don't build a car based on just what it sounds like. There is not one standard V8 that ferrari make, that sounds anything like an F1 car. Any glorious sound made is a by product, that's all. Tuned yes, but a by product all the same.NotNormal said:
That F40 sounded fantastic at Wilton, would love to hear it really opened up on the road:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A651ReJUx3M
No 355 can sound quite as good as that

Might not be the loudest but definitely one of the best - LP640 + Quicksilver
