    Most audibly pleasing vehicles.

    I'm sure it's not just me, but I find the sound a car makes is very important almost more important than looks, for example I can overlook certain ugly yank tanks because they sound so mean.

    Anyway I thought I would share my favourite sounding exhaust note

    It's a BRM 1.5 litre supercharged V16. Very interesting car (doesn't look half bad either).

    There's a YouTube audio link

    (You will probably want to upgrade your speakers as they won't go loud enough)

    Feel free to better that sound.

    Sounds ok but for me nothing beats a Rolls Royce Merlin at full noise.

    Yes, the best sounding engine ever.

    XW / XY GT Falcon with a cam and a decent exhaust system. Heard a classic one driving past me in Fremantle on Sunday. Sounds better than a Dunnydoor any day of the week (sorry Mick).

    But there's not much can beat the sound of an Aston Martin V8 when someone is giving it a few berries.

    A regular visitor to our office also has an AMG Merc V8 that sounds nice when he boots it up Stirling Highway (not as good as an Aston though).
    Cheers .........

    I couple of years ago I was once stopped for a random breath test by a lone copper in the middle of the Kiewa valley.

    I pulled up and of course left the D2 idling. First thing he said was - "nice sounding truck" !

    So according to him the winner is a TD5 with no cat and a 3" exhaust !
