OK what do you think sounds best? Flat fours (air cooled of course ), inline sixes, rotaries, American/Aussie V8s, euro v12s, V10s, inline fours (God forbid), aero engines, F1, diesel locos?

I like it when a diesel loco goes through central station in Brisbane - ground shaking magnificence!

V8s on the dyno are pretty amazing too...

Aston Martin Vanquish??
Lambo Countach??

just what every bloke needs, just to upset the kids outside maccas with thier blingluxes and turbowotsits

Mig-21 afterburner.

The warp drive attached to The Enterprise.

A; Isuzu diesel.

I got some favourites, a few before bed.

1951 they could make 600hp from 1.5ltr engine. Pretty mazing. V16 with RR supercharger. After the start skip to around 2:00 It's a big track, most of the vid is the sound of the car round the far side...

An aussie stuck a V12 merlin engine in a hydroplane, and won every race he entered. Aggressor:


This is a slightly modified R1 Yamaha 1ltr bike engine racing in italy. Also won a lot in a tiny car shell. Wet track oversteer monster. Great note echoing round. I think these rev limit at 14,000 rpm from the factory, easy to go more if you put in some stronger valves etc and override the CPU.


I'll find some more tomorrow...

Listen to this thing.

Just LISTEN to it fly!

The mazda 787b, the won lemans in 1991, beating all the big name
brands in there little mazda. 700hp out of a 2.6lt. best sound ever.
Carnt link you's to it but its on the tube.

There is nothing quite like those older formula 1 cars for sheer adrenalin pumping engine noise.

If you can get hold of the movie Grand Prix starring James Garner you will get plenty of it. It was the first movie shown in Brisbane that had surround sound in the theatre.

This one wets my pants.




I would love to hear this one on the open road.

Great sound.

Loving all of them !!!!



How about the Atom V8? nothing exceptional in the sound but everything else is....

Radial cranks for a while, just when you think she's never firing...

Surprised no one has put this up yet.

1100 + hp from a Falcon 4L six cylinder engine.
