Best Sounding Engine
What is your favorite engine to hear?
My favorites were both motorcycles CBX and RG500.
V12s sound nice.
Ducatti
I'll even admit to liking the sound of the one in a million Harley that has the right combination of cam and exhaust.

Re: Best Sounding Engine
I really like the sound of my old school tunnel rammed 528 Hemi. The engines that I really hate to have to listen to are some of the little 4 bangers with the fart pipes. Another that drives me nuts are some of the smallblock chevies. Some combinations of them remind me of a gettomobile with a bad muffler. I'm not trying to bad mouth Chevy, but some of the chevy bracket cars I've heard at the track make me want to buy them a set of quite mufflers. Dave

Re: Best Sounding Engine
I don't like noise, lol. Be awesome--IMO--to have a 500 hp motor that you could not hear!
Re: Best Sounding Engine
This is going to sound crazy but I like the sound of the old Hit & Miss antique engines.

I love the sounds from those big IHRA pro stockers. They have a deep, effortless sound. They sound happy to be there.

Re: Best Sounding Engine
I'd have to say my first engine (Olds 350). I also like the sounds and smell of those old hit and miss engines, there's something soothing about them.
And I know I'll get bashed for this, but I like the sound of those small 4 cylinder engines when they are properly tuned (ie not weed eater sounding). Most of them are horrible but every now and then you can find a nicely done one.
On bikes- I heard a road star warrior one time a few years ago with black exhaust pipes (no clue on the brand) and some tuning. It was the nicest sounding v twin I have ever heard. The thumping coming out of the pipes felt like it was just beating on your chest- if I didn't give up bikes i would have one of those in my garage right now.

LOL, according to the post count I'm an "expert." The only thing I'm an expert at is asking questions.
