RE: Time for Tea: Ferrari 355 noise factory

[xaero1]

My submission for favourite engine sound is the fabulous Busso engine in the Alfa 147 and 156 GTAs...

360CS, 355, M3 CSL, 996 GT3 after 5.5k rpm for me are the best sounding cars ever made.

That 355 and Zonda gave me a shiver.

Love Ferrari V8's
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fIF6Nh7gCo Go to 20 secs, the way it changes the exhaust sound is awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALFvwy25P_4 Go to 2:54, simply one of the greatest noise I've ever heard.

Can you update the piece to demand people add titles to the links or this could get messy.

(and how come he's allowed to start a different uchoob thread and we're not and, and, and...)


Looking forward to getting home and listening to these

My personal preference has always been split by exhaust noise and induction noise, and is as follows:

Best exhaust noise: Ferrari F355 (the way it just sings is glorious)

Best induction noise: McLaren F1 (angry DTM-style induction overlayed with V12 wailing capabilities).

Gallardo with Kreissieg F1 Exhaust http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1NSTT7vODY
Epic

Slightly o/t but Bike magazine gave away a CD on the cover a few years ago with the sounds of an exclectic collection of bikes, both static and fly-by.
It was interesting to work out what you liked the sound of and then see what it was - home classics and pretty humdrum machinery (TDM900) scored very well.

I wonder which non-exotic cars would sound good if you didn't know what they were?

F355 with Tubi is the ugly sister to the F355 with Capristo

[BarbaricAvatar]

F355 nice. Murcielago better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go6kxyKSDZ0

[Maxus]

Nice clip of an M5 with an Eisenmann exhaust. Listen to that V10

[LMA37]

Sorry but your all wrong. Mazda 797B at Le Mans or any triple rotary such as the Cosmos is the best sounding engine.

Fart in a sock! Tha sounds epic.

Although I have to admit, for various reasons this still gets my hackles up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjihcuJOa8s

Another (terribly biased) vote for the M3 CSL here Have never heard an engine sound that can change so much over its rev-range

(Not me, still haven't got my Go-Pro working properly )

Pedantic hat but they have 380bhp, not 400bhp.
Sounds amazing with the Capristo. Second only to some of the Carrera GT sounds.

[coppice]

The flat plane crank Ferraris always sound like chainsaws to me - but the one in the video did sound as good as any I've heard. But few if any road cars sound that good- if you want noise you need racers.Try Matra MS120, Ferrari 512 and - a personal favourite the Larousse Lamborghini GP car of early 90s. Or a smallblock Chevy in race tune.

[richseston]

They are all epic, but not sure it tops the 3 cylinder kia Picanto with rust pea shooter exhaust. Of note, is it me or does natural aspirated sound better than any turbo???

[MarJay]

Best youtube clip I heard was a V6 Alfa Romeo with a full Unicorse system. Sounds like the Countach in Cannonball run!

[Nobby77]

No mention of the 6R4? They have to be up there in the all time best sounding cars.

[JoeMk1]

The 355 definately sounds nice, but the ultimate sound for me has to be the F50
