I like this one. Then again, I did own it for six years ;-P

But still, I loved listening to that on a daily basis.

What year is it? My friend has one('91 I believe). And I'm guessing it's a later version, because I believe I hear a V8 under that!

It's a 93. Very similar, in fact. Almost the same v6 engine. Your friend has a 3.0L, mine was a 3.2L.

Although, the rest was pretty well worked over.

Yeah well, it's all well and good to have a loud rip snorting car when it's just you behind the wheel. The reality is everyone else around you has to put up with the aggravation. If you really think about it, it's actually rather selfish to have a loud vehicle for road use.

Also, just imagine all the extra land that would become available to house builders if they weren't restricted by noise pollution from roads and motorways which currently means they can't build in places where no one would want to live.

If it came down to the choice, I'd rather have more, (and therefore cheaper), housing than allowing noisy vehicles on the road. It's only because we're conditioned by engine noise that we expect it in our cars, (especially performance ones). Ultimately, people will adjust to quieter vehicles. Later generations will wonder how we ever put up with the noise.

Also, it's all well and good trawing the net for youtube clips of "sweet" sounding engines. The reality is 99% of us would loath to drive any of those cars in practice. I think most people dont have any real idea of just how loud they are. Having been in the presence of race prepped 125cc 2-strokes I can tell you in all honesty I wouldn't want to ride/drive any vehicle with a race prepped engine for more than 10 minutes. What's the point of having an engine so loud you are forced to wear ear plugs to save yourself from permanent hearing damage anyway?

Only about 5 of you have good taste! /me runs and hides lol.


Seriously tho, THIS, is what's up.

Road car: My VR6, video is from '05, head gasket was blown lol, 170k miles, all stock engine, not quick at all then, although now it's 320BHP, but at the time it had the racing clutch and rebuilt tranny, new motor was being built while this video was recorded. I recorded it for just for the sound, nothing beats the 12 Valve VR6...even my worn out one lol. Click more info and scroll down for links to the pics of the car. It still looks the same, except at that time I had it sitting a little high, I usually have it a bit lower.

the sound in the video is off a CD that comes with a book called "Into The Red", definitely worth purchasing just for the CD full of high quality car recordings. I love the sound of it opening up on the straights.

I'm sure that's the H16 rather than the V16, but I could be wrong, either way, it sends shivvers down my spine, it's a glorious sound. If that doesn't stir your soul, I don't know what does.
