Default American V8 Muscle Car Sounds

From the new Jeremy Clarkson video

Even though the Ferrari sounds amazing there's just nothing like the sound of an old skool V8

Yep R26B, only Japanese car and only rotary engine to ever win Le Mans over all in 1991. I have read about the car and it had NO problems over the 24 hours, just came in, fuel it up, change drivers and tires and off it goes. ACO outlawed rotaries in 1992 due to how effecient it was.

Sorry, but the Ferrari sounds like ****, its Lamborghinis that sound great.

The sound of American Muscle V8 > Ferrari V8 By a mile!

The Nissan Skyline and Supra sounds way better than Ferraris IMO too.

I dont really care for any of these cars in the top gear clip. All the old musclecars sound dumpy and unpronounced. Hate me for it, but my favorite sound is an 03/04 cobra with a kenne bell or whipple. Not counting some of the very exotic hypercars.

FTW over the original clip.

I'll stand up for it as well and agree with you. I'm all about the modern, but I do think the old ones sound good too.

The Mustang sound just has that burble and the hollow tin-like sound to it that gives me chills. Combine that with the perfect whine of a KB and that tops my list for engine sounds. Second to that is the sound of a loping big block.
