Subarus may have the best sounding engines ever... they are definitely the best sounding four bangers ever.  Case in point...My 2008 WRX with straight pipe...

If you have a sub on your computer's speakers, make sure its on...the note is pretty deep.  If you are on a laptop, then god help you.

sorry, i decided a while ago to have a good laugh at the expense of the first person to buy the giant, oversized streamlined dongs that are the 08 rexes.

sounds like my waggy when i had a straight pipe on it,  but much quieter.   thats a nice exhaust on the LGT i almost bought a LGT wagon, black. but opted for the wrx because i couldnt find the legacy in stick.

 the newest wrx's are meh, but they have grown on me more and more since ive seen photoshops or pictures of people modding them. i really like the sti's though, but i would rather have an evo 10 over the new sti these days, looks so much sicker.

hey, you've still got a brand new wrx and that's sick as hell.

but don't try to tell me that if you had a choice of any year, somehow all brand new, you'd chose the '08's.

those are really nice cars, they have an advantage though with the traction control, (my buddy has one) i was ripping around turns so carelessly TRYING to make it spin out or loose control and the traction control just kept it controlled and pulled through the turn. if i were to do that in my rex in the conditions that i was driving in, i would have either flipped, of flown into a ditch.

 they guy who was driving the wrx probably didnt know how to launch, because i raced my buddy when i was stock, and we were pretty even. your turbo spools up alot better than ours. but i must admit, when i took off the line in his vw it felt alot faster than when i launch the wrx.

 sick car!

subaru's do sound great, but it gets a little played. imo they only sound "great" when its a rally car, the exhaust, mixed with the turbo whine, backfiring, and the blow off sound all mixed together is awesome.

imo the best sounding 4 cyl car is an e30 m3, especially the race cars.

otherwise, ferrari v8's that zonda, and the carrera gt and especially the morgan aero 8 sound the best for street cars.
and you have to admit that american cars do sometimes sound great, i guess its the only thing they can do well.
for any car though, id have to say the turbo v8's in champ car's. the blow off sounds like a gunshot or explosion every time, that mixed with the slightly deeper formula one sounding sound and the backfiring is so awesome.

That's because its a boxer engine which is unique to dubs.

I personally like the sound of srt4's I guess since I drive one it makes me love it more.


It sounds mean turns heads but its just a neon =p
