I'm not a fan of the sound of a V12 TBH (too 'busy' for me), but I have to admit that the current AM V12s sound pretty decent. So I'll go for the DBS. smile

So three votes so far for the F50 and two votes for the Pagani Zonda R.

I can see a trend appearing.

I love the bit in Ferris Bueller when he nails the throttle on that 250 California as he leaves the school car park.

I love the sound of a nice raspy Aston V12 like this:

Griffin

or in motpr car, 3ltr V12 from the 250 GTO or the 330LM V12.

Are we allowed Flat 12s? In which case it is a straight toss up between the 917 and 512.

Do love the Pagani though with a little bit of rumble strip noise as well. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtXLhTCknDE&fea...
