best sounding v8s ever?

[forgot my old username]

i'll start:

SLS AMG
Alfa Romeo 8C

[Krikkit]

Ones I've heard in person:

Cobra 289
Ferrari 360CS
Aston Vantage V8 GTE
Mercedes SLS GT3
Challenger RT 440 (with some mods, no idea what), proper lope muscle.

All total ear porn.

One of my favourites is the Mercedes McLaren SLR.

A V8 and a supercharger whine thrown in too.

[Big GT]

Ferrari 458 early model
TVR Chimera / Griff 500
1969 Dodge charger

Previous-gen C63.

Maseratis always sound good to me.

The old Ford Sock V8 - not common but distinctive sound

Early (Pre-AdBlue) Cayenne V8 Diesel. Just putting it out there. Diesel. No one believes it.

That's an interesting suggestion. I'll be more obvious and go for classic American muscle though.

LDV Sherpas as run by the London Ambulance service in the early 2000s.

I lost count the number of times I turned expecting to see a TVR only to find the gorgeous V8 burble coming from a Rover powered Sherpa Ambulance.

V8's don't get better than this...



Absolute screamer.

Hard to find a bad sounding one really.
Pre emissions regs TVR wedges were my favourites.

Panoz at Le Mans in the still air of a misty sun rise.

My Lexus engined Lotus sounds amazing. Especiallty on throttle bodies.

Lotus V8 is good too - especially as it is a flat plane....

[InductionRoar]

427 Cobra for me.

Certainly not the Range Rover SVR I heard yesterday, which was given an absolute towelling on a cold engine and sounded like a bag of nails.

That was unexpected. Very nice sound.
