Our Dodge Viper has the Borla exhaust system and it sounds bad *** as you go through the gears. I can shift out of 2nd at 95... love to sound when downshifting...

I have a V10 in an F350. It makes the "SLURP" sound as it sucks gas at a rate of 8 mpg. I swear the gas evaporates when it sits for weeks at a time.

V8s just sound so cool..... guess I'm just an old dog

 

[speedchangesyou]

I completely agree nothing like firing up our 63 Blown Hemi Dodge and opening the headers...I could listen to that all day long...

I like pretty much any engine sound...I-6, V-8, V-10, V-12, V-16

The stock V10 Viper's exhaust note has been compared to a UPS truck since its inception.

Maybe this one?

the 70 RR restomod thread inspired my thoughts on this..... V10 is a deal breaker for me..... IMO, these cars need the sound of a V8

Yeah I was just about to say the old Vipers gave V10's a bad rap as far as sound goes. It's all in the exhaust.

Though nothing beats the heartbeat of a big cammed V8.

Yes, I completely agree. When the Viper was first released and so many guys were in awe of it, I just couldn't get into it. The car sounded terrible, almost like a WW2 radial engine plane or something.
Guys that do V10 swaps into classic cars...Terrible! They do look cool with a modern engine but once it is running, it sounds bad.

hell no...

Nothing like the turbo 6's they're running now ...

those were the good olde days...Schumacher and V-12 Ferarri's.

this one sounds pretty damn good

The Vipers, the ones with the side-pipes do sound like a
UPS truck idling
BUT; you only hear one bank of the engine,
on one side of the car
BUT; when it's coming at you or going away
it sounds much better then, from just one side...
