I love the sound of a good old Ford FE motor.

Maybe for an affordable car. I've passed a few various Ferraris on the road where I had to turn off the stereo, roll down the windows, and just dream...Can't say I've done that when a Subaru has passed me by.

Funny comment about women and Subarus. An ex-gf has won (although it was given to her) and another friend of mine bought a loaded Legacy. I think those are pretty nice cars as well.[/b]

Ever? :6f1d77c8: In whose lifetime? Note that I'm NOT writing this from a canyon. :7d3bf976:

I think my '67 Cougar with a 390 and dual exhaust might have had just a tad better sound. Granted, it was no 4-banger... :rolleyes:[/b]

Err my bad. I should have made it more clear what i meant. Tim hit it right on the mark, exactly what i meant really :lol: what i meant was an affordable car, not a "super car" i absolutly love love love the sound of "super cars" eg. Ferrari, Lambo, Aston, ect ect. So yeah my appologies for not making it clear.

Every Aston Martin I've ever heard sounds like a ricer. I remember the first time my dad and I saw one he pulled up next to it and rolled the window down so we could listen and were throughly disappointed. Sounded just like an Integra.

hmmmmm.... what year? Newish? Oldish? Thats strange because imo they sound great! I guess its just personal taste which another thing that sets my love for a boxer rumble apart from some.

There's nothing like the sound of a couple teague 700's in powerboat! I know it's not a car, but blown, intercooled, injected 700 inch big blocks on race gas! 1200hp each and the smell of race fuel is intoxicating!!! Plus the fact that the exhaust is un-capped! No mistaking that for a ricer or a honduh...
