Best Tunnel Noise
Discussion
Inspired by the "Hindhead tunnel "turned into Monaco race track" thread, I'd love to know, just what is the best noise ever recorded in a tunnel?
I love the noise of V8's and superchargers, so if anyone has the sound of a XKR/S type R or XJR in a good tunnel, this would make a great start?
Edited - Hindhead tunnel looks gr8 - but UK being such a cool urbanised place, what NON speed camera areas are there that you have found to experience such noise? Include long bridges, tunnels, mountain passes, any hidden gems - you get the idea...................

a 306 gti6 with a cold feed induction and just a manifold and decat at 7k+ rpm is up there in the ranks of the best sound I've heard
(no mid section or back box)
edit:
I can't say I've ever heard a judd v8 / or delta s4 in real life but I know they would both sound crazy through a tunnel

No.
I saw a very nice new XJ the other day that sounded amazing. No tunnel unfortunately.
I think you'd be surprised how crazy a 4 pot engine at 7k+ can sound without an exaust. I've heard lots of cars but nothings sounded better yet...I saw a very nice new XJ the other day that sounded amazing. No tunnel unfortunately.

Had the privilege of listening to a Gallardo scream past on some form of sports exhaust - yum yum! V8 Vantages also seem to have been designed for tunnels, as they sound epic in them.
A friend of mine took me out in his CSL and we went through a tunnel where he booted it -

It sounded similar to this with added pops and bangs...

Although at low revs it sounded something cross between a tractor and a bag of spanners..

Are you comparing a 306 to an NSX? It sounded similar to this with added pops and bangs...

Waaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr (lift) pop pop
I'm not sure why this guy didn't get jumped on.. I don't see the difference between one modified 4pot and another.Waaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr (lift) pop pop
Sounds more like herd mentality to me.
