Who makes the best V8 NOISE?

That bloody thing nearly deafened me, sat at Paddock Hill bend in 1989! Even compared to the rest of the WSPC field (Jags, Saubers etc) it was seriously loud. Several excellent mentions too for the McLaren M8, Charles Agg used to run one in a Supersports Championship that sometimes supported the BTCC back in the day. It was always a 
moment to see and hear it being run- what a noise (and a serious handful 
), it really made the Touring Cars seem pretty tame in comparison. Edited by darren f on Monday 25th May 17:10
race car has to be endurance corvettes. they’ve defined Le Mans for me over the past 10 or so years and i’ll miss that thunder now the last of the old school N/A’s have gone.
from the cars i’ve owned it’ll be the B7 RS4 with the non resonated milltek exhaust. I preferred it to the vantage (with the obligatory fuse 22 removed).
Best road car i’ve heard in the metal (i don’t count videos) has to be the 360 Challenge Stradale. i followed one into a tunnel - i’ll not forget that.

I have a very similar engine in my car and I have a valved exhaust system. from the cars i’ve owned it’ll be the B7 RS4 with the non resonated milltek exhaust. I preferred it to the vantage (with the obligatory fuse 22 removed).

That engine IMO is very dull sounding compared to something like a Vantage or Granturismo.
PS you're supposed to wire the flaps open on the Vantage to stop them seizing apparantly
