[TOYROTA] Regular Location: A.C.T Registered: July 2002	Re: Fav car sounds Thu, 17 June 2004 07:48 So far i'd have to agree with the Audi and the BRM they sound awesome. There are a few new cars that sound good, but a lot of them sound aweful, would anyone agree that the 4cylinder BMW's from the late 80's early-mid 90's sound absolutely aweful with an aftermarket exhaust? I've heard a few and they just get to that certain rev range and just go all narley and sound absolutely dreadful. Having said that there is a late 80's one getting around Canberra that has what i think one of the best sounding engines in it, and yes it is a rotary. Now before you start going on, this is a 3rotor 600hp turbocharged 20B motor which if you dont know much about rotaries sounds completely different to the love/hate sound of the common 2rotors. It sounds like a mix of a speed boat/v8/aeroplane and sounds awesome. It's more of a muffled roaring sound than anything else. Which brings me to one of my next favourite sounding engines, speedboats!! Sorry i dont know what motor the ones i heard were running but there are a few speedboats i have heard that sound absolutely fantastic, i know the water muffles the sound and gives them a gurgly sorta noise but they sound absolutely awesome. Also i gotta give credit to my dad's PRB Clubman that runs the old BDA escort crossflow style 4cylinder, with yep, two big fat webbers hanging off the side, that sounds sweet. Then there's the 4rotor Mazda 787B that won LeMans in 1991, with over 700hp from a naturally-aspirated 2.6 litre rotary. i have a file of this http://www.mymazdarotary.com/mazda_rotary_general/ 787b/787b_videos/787b_entry.mpg (there's lots more on the net just look around) Some of you may not like this one because the motor is soo worked it sounds like a rotary on idle again, but if the 3 or 4 rotor motors aren't ported like that then they sound like a jet just awesome. (especially turbocharged versions.) André [Report message to a moderator]
