its gotta be the subaru they do sound nice when they have a good exhaust on but the zt 260 at warrington also sounded awsome

I agree with Ian on both counts, whenever I see a subaru when driving, I always open my window so i can hear it, but that ZT 260 was just awesome...

Mine is a subaru too

Was up living in Aberdeen for a while and there was an awesome red one that drove about. One day it was frosty he pulled onto the main street and booted it, drifting round the lights and driving a fair bit up the road sideways. The echo off the granite buildings sounded incredible!

Wife's old bug-eye Subaru WRX sounded great - her new 2.5ltr version sounds pants in comparison (I've read somwhere that the 2.0ltr versions had unequal length primaries to the exhaust manifold causing the distinct engine note which have been replaced with equal length manifold primaries in the new version). When reversing along the side of the house, her old car would with its distinctive "bom-bom-bom" at tickover would make the front door rattle in sympathy. Now I here nothing until she opens the front door and catches me doing sweet FA on the couch, whereas I could spring into action to maintain the illusion of having been busy before she walked in through the door with the old car.

One of my bug-bears with my ZS is that I can't bloody hear how good the KV6 sounds unless I'm in a tunnel doing 40-60mph in 2nd gear.

A fella at a gym opposite a building site I used to work at had a lime green Plymouth somehting-or-other with a cracking sounding V8. I've also been stood next to Ferrari V8's and V12's on hols last week - what a sound! BMW's V10 sounded good in an M5 pulling away from the lights too.

Best sounding engine for me. English Electric V10 diesel in a Class.37 locomotive hauling a 10k ton freightliner train, with the engine on full bore, hill climbing. You could hear every pot straining!!!

Vulcan Bomber in full take off mode, RR Olympus engines (no re-heat) screaming!!!

Sorry to break the car engine noises

Worst engine. Micra 1.1.....CONSTANT VELOCITY, VARIABLE PITCH, NOISE GENERATOR

if we are wandering into planes then has to be the Tornado... was at an air show down on Plymouth and every time it flew past is set off every car alarm.

Sounds like all 10 horsemen of the apocolipse at once!

Yep, that's what made them sound sooo nice. Causes a power drop though so that's probably why they changed them.
