• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Best Sounding Cars

Based on real life and not recordings, in no particular order: Ferrari 250LM, Ferrari 412T2 (1994), Lotus 49T Cosworth and Ferrari 246T Dino (Tasman Cup 1968), and recently, a Porsche 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 that blasted it's way through our rural landscape.

Best sounding car? That would have been my 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sport, equipped with a 408 cubic inch V-8, Holley 750 cfm 4-barrel vacuum secondary carburetor, Edelbrock Performer intake, ported 2-V heads, Competition Cams 268H cam, Harlan Sharp roller rocker arms, forged TRW pistons, head and block milled to increase static compression to 8.8:1, steel tube headers, dual exhaust with crossover pipe and Thrush Turbo mufflers. I built that engine and I liked the way it sounded, so did my friends. They said they could tell my car from the other hot rods in the area just on the exhaust sound. I miss that car, I miss the 1980's.
