Saw a De Tomaso Pantera once a few years ago and sounded pretty wicked.
Pretty sure they came with a Ford V8 (might be wrong) but obviously had other work done as super loud. |

Really hard to cross cylinder and block designs, but, I remember clearly as a kid standing on a corner when the E46 M3 was newish, the owner must of had a fancy exhaust because the noise from that I6 was insane.

best i have heard was a VN cmmodore on redline...
not really it was a VN 355 with 8 throttle bodies and it was a street car in my area i loved that sound and as far as new cars i do like the new 6.2l VF's, little bit quiet but a nice note not the the fluffy mustangs or _63 merc's

Nothing better than a worked C63 M156 with a custom exhaust, sound great when under WOT. Need to listen in real life though, like the video above video doesn't do them justice.
Loved the sound of my LS3 with mild cam and big exhaust.

Any VN-VY V6 with a big exhaust. Mang mang
 The M3CSL sounded superb. Air cooled 911's sound good too. I remember seeing one as a teenager getting canned down the street. Was one of the last air cooled ones. 993? |

i think the old V8 supercars of the 90's sounded tuff as at full noise, especially if you were close to track with out barriers.

My FG2 GT with hotdogs and no mufflers. Sounded like a cross between an angry Rottweiler and a Harley.

The sound of my old XA GT hardtop on the Bruce Highway in the middle of the night, foot flat to the floor, windows down of course.

The Bently GT racecars in the Bathurst 12hr !
They remind me of old big block V8 Ford's from the 60s.  D

In the mid 80's I had a XC GXL with 351 and twin sports system.
I used to lend the car to my then flat mate just so I could hear it drive up our street. I could say that car, but then there's probably hundreds that are much sweeter

For a worked v8 this is one of the best I have ever heard on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp8h9H6edmM Standard car in person one of the best v8s I ever heard was a Ferrari v8 with webber carbies winding it out through the gears with manual box in mid 80's along Dandenong Road in Melbourne (I was on a pushie at time riding home after a night shift).
