Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all?

Well this thread took an unlikely turn - didn't expect to see cars as a subject of discussion.

Best sound comes from a V12 (I miss my old Lamborghini!), next best from a straight six (sold my MGC but still have a BMW Z4MC), and after that maybe the rather blatting loud but unrefined V8 (though I still own them as well) and then the poor four cylinder (still own three of those - one makes 375 bhp out of a 2.0 - but the sound is always a bit inferior to the others mentioned.

This one (I drive it in summer) sounds decent as well, although a V6)

 

@asvjerry , it sounds like you beat the odds. You can try recreational drugs now.

@wspohn , What is that? Not a Ferrari or a Lambo. 6 cylinder? That's rare. I thought only the Dino did that. I agree, 12 cylinders make the best sound for an automobile but IMHO the best internal combustion noise comes from an L twin Ducati. The worst comes from my snow blower which I shall know intimately in about 24 hours. 

For any New Englanders out there, good luck tomorrow. Warm up your generators!

It is actually a 1956 MGA under the skin with a GM V6 I transplanted into it and a body by Fiberfab called a Jamaican made in the 1960s..

It is another hobby of mine.

 

@mijostyn ....you're assuming I stopped...;)  As for 'odds', I ought to play the Lotto.

Then I could afford a barely 'street-able' version of below....*evil S*

'Combat traffic' demands a 'weapon of choice'...😏

@wspohn ...well, it's a beautiful car, even if 'it's only a 6'.... ;) 

When it comes to 'road racket', here's my 'go-to', even if only in my dreams..
A 'street-able' version that kept the progressive shifter...nothing like 'small & nimble' and more HP than God would trust me with...

(...and it's likely it's an Exige vs. an Elise....Exige are hardtopped, where Elise are droptops....)

Getting wet flurries here in AVL now....grid thy loins, gentlemen.

 

HEY that guy Carl is one Bad mother......lol.....nice but when do you have the time to listen to your system?
