I really liked the sound of my Alfa GTV6. It had Ansa downpipes and an Ansa sport exhaust. The back pressure out the muffler could knock you over if the flames coming out the back didn't sear you! The Busso V6 has a legendary sound.

Most exhausts on NA s2000s sound like garbage, but with the addition of a turbo it sounds great.

 

I was at the track this past weekend and IMO one of the best sounding cars out there was a race prepped S2000 with a single exhaust. Not sure what type of engine work it had but it sounded great. In contrast 1-2 of the (many) Mustangs there had very low restriction exhausts and sounded horribly crude.

 

Evasive's track S2000 has an amazing exhaust note. Origin custom exhaust from the head back & an HKS supercharger is all you need haha. I think unboosted the S2000 lacks some aggression in the exhaust note but with boost it gets so angry...couple that with titanium & it's gonna sing.

 

Great sounding new cars seem to be getting more rare and many people are settling or have accepted this. I can't.

 

Depends on the car. I think a lot of new cars sound amazing. My personal favorite "affordable" new(ish) cars would be BMW's S85 with exhaust, new Mustangs, and the 370Z.

 

As a parent that owns a home on a corner lot at the front of a subdivision I would honestly like modern cars to be a little quieter....

 

AMG cars were to the support cars for F1 at the Canadian GP and they did not sound that good at all. Just deep low tone with very little presence. Was not impressed at all and did not sound off from my friend's Renntech car. Porsche, Brits, and Italians got them beat all day long.

 

Were you at the F1 race this past weekend? (if so, kudos I'm jealous). Every video I can find online they sound good, and every auto magazine article about them says the new AMG turbo V8 sounds great, so I dunno what to say. I haven't personally driven one or ridden in one, but the consensus seems to be that they're pretty good.

 

Yes I was. Too bad most missed race due the Terrorism coverage...

We drove the Lotus (300 mi each way) and it was furthest I ever drove the car in one stretch.

AMG had a big sponsorship and advertising campaign throughout the fan pavilion. I saw Vettel riding his road bicycle on Sunday morning with someone else (not Kimi). They stopped a stop sign like 20' away from me. Compare any AMG to an Aston or sporty 911 and it's no contest. Never mind a Ferrari... Maybe inside the car it's a little different?
