In the realm of new muscle, the 7.0 in the Z06 takes the cake, followed by the 6.1 and 5.7 in the Charger/Challenger, IMHO.

MEH. The LS9 in the ZR1 produces the best exhaust note short of a V12 IMO. Took a ride in BREDWNR's last night and the sound is amazing! My Mustang sounds great with the X-pipe & Borla but nothing compared to that.

Someone find the video of the 180* header Corvette C5 or something. I'm at work and can't but I remember thinking
at that exhaust note.

I stand by my earlier statement, LS7 is the best sounding. Hands down.

The new 5.0's sound pretty good. My buddy with an x pipe, and an axle back has that 4v cobra sound. There's a video on my channel of his car. Posted under the same name as my original post.
...how'd we get talking about sound again lol?

I haven't heard many of the new 5.0's that I like. I don't know if the V-tec changes the exhaust ( 
) or if Ford has done something different enough with the 2011+'s exhaust system to change the way they sound.
The newer Vette's sound pretty sick with factory exhaust. I think they can open and close it from what I understand. Was at the track last weekend and a newer Grand Sport that was cammed and stalled was probably one of the best sounding cars I heard that day. Friend of mine said that it had the stock exhaust and I was very impressed.
Been a long time since I can say that a GM car sounds better than a Ford from the factory.

That thing sounded like **** going down the drag strip. Poor imitation of a Ferrari V12 if you ask me. Just a bunch of noise.

What exactly did you expect out of a stock LT1? Remember those cars hit the streets in 1993 as direct competition for the pushrod 5.0 Mustang...that ran high 14's to low 15's. 6 years later and its a "close race" with the NEW modular v8 gt! Plus, I believe we already established that an LT1 and 2v stock for stock are pretty much dead nuts. The point was, when the bigger mods like heads, cam etc. come into play, the LT1 is light years ahead.
And the LT4 had a couple more things working for it than just the heads, like a larger camshaft, rocker arms, freer-flowing intake manifold, and higher compression pistons.

And to add to my earlier comment on loving the 4v 4.6 at idle, I love a 3v with good exhaust rolling down the street. sounds racey to me for some reason.
