Which GTE V8 sounded the best?

-Aston Martin
-Corvette
-BMW
-Ferrari
-Ford
I thought the Corvettes sounded a little too much stressed, compared to the larger capacity engines they could run previously. My preference goes to the Ferrari, with the Aston a close second. BMW finishes last in my book, with the 2 yanks a split 3rd/4th place.

Cheers,

Vincent

Vette best for me. On a similar topic the Pug 908 sounded almost loud compared to the Audi.

Not sure I'd agree. The GT40 was the loudest to my ears, but the Aston sounded best (in my opinion).

Audi Racer has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
I though the Ferrari 458 engine sounded by far and away the best.


I can imagine the Corvette V8 sounding good to other people as it is distinct so i'll give it second place. I dont like it though. I've never been a fan of big block thundering V8's.

The Porsche Whine(kinda what the drivers do as well lol). Gets third place.

The BMW engine is no doubt the worst sounding. It just a high revving raucous.

As James says, the Ford GT was by far the loudest, IMO. But I can't say I had a favourite among them, frankly.......

GT made one hell of a racket, but the Vette was the best sounding thing on the track. The Astons came a close second.

I'm over 50 too and I would not say that my ears are shagged but my hearing is slightly less accurate and a bit more fragile (because of the Mazda bi-rotor 30 years ago). That's why the Ferrari V8 is a bit painful to me though I like it.
I like any loud V8 too.
