Apparently, for some reason, almost all V8-V10 european engines sound like this ferrari, don’t know isn’t m5 about 7k redline max, i saw a vid of the new E60 m5 trying to find it, there is an exhaust system from japan, that literally makes the bmw sound like F1 car, no joke. ---

I agree, European V8 is much nicer sounding, though i still love the 64 ss witht he 20inch slicks in the rear with bad ass 425 motors, but somthing more tame, i’d have to go with European V8. listen to this and listen to it loud, tell me you are not creaming.

All have a very nice lopey sound with a nice free flowing exhaust… Well it is not as nice for the 4.1L So far these produce my favourite V8 sounds ---

^^^ trust me, it doesn’t sound anywhere near as sexy as on a VH motor. I’ll find some sound clips and show you. There’s something about the sound of a V8 being far better than the sound of a V6. ---
