It's hard to beat the symphonic sounds of the Ferrari F430 at wot. Just my worthless opinion.

I remember you boasting that your Evo sets off car alarms so I’m not surprised at this comment.

Actually, I wasn't boasting, and I really don't like the exhaust note of the 4g63.

like a typical inline4 turbocharged. braap braap crap.

boxer burble anyday. But I've grown to enjoy the rotary scream. At high rpm, it's like an angry Ducati with a baritone.
