Personally, NOTHING EVER sounds sweeter than a Matra V12, but let's have em, let's have your NOISE!!!!


1.22 onwards

ALL epic...but 1.29 seconds onwards............and then some!


All of it!

This just takes the biscuit, it gets no better in the world of Petrolheard. If this doesn't bring you close to tears or tingles your spine like a beyatch, you will NEVER be a Petrol Head...



OK, that's Matra, more to follow, I know NOISE, I will find more that makes you go all goose pimply!
 
OK...........one of the special sounds. BRM V16
Just turn it UP...........LOUD..........43 seconds, Craner Curves like NEVER before


 
All this 4 cylinder pish, get rid, it's GAY! :D Sorry to me it's just a loud noise without much of a tune. Loads of revs and a loud exhaust is all they have really, to my ears they simply aren't musical like the 6's and upwards. The Mazda Group C car always crops up on these threads and to that car I'd say this. I saw every in era Group C race in the UK and a few abroad and the Mazda always stood out. When you first heard it belting around it was epic and you thought the best sounding car ever but after time, ie a few laps it became a total pain in the ass an again was just a loud noise. Now if you think these were loud you should have heard the Group 1 RX7's in 1979 and 1980, they would make your ears bleed and they were simply ear splitting with great big megaphone exhausts.

You need 8 upwards in my book to make it sound epic, some 6's OK but most 8 and up. 12 is where it's at I think, best of the lot.

How much track experience do you have Housey?

Not a lot really some track days, test days, got my ARDS and use to do some sprinting, hill climbing and testing in my yoof, but I'm not a track day nut, well not to the extent of some (see Tax Evader back in the day). I go a couple of three times per year when time allows but I am planning to do some racing in 2011, more news when I can share it, but I am spending now on my car finally.....though I am still seeking a Mk1 Eunos donor car!

Watching that M1 makes me want to go racing this very second. :( Wonder how awesome it would be to have a go in a proper race-spec weapon. :cool:

I saw the M1 Pro Car championship a couple of times, at Silverstone in 79 (I think) and at Donington I think in 1980 when the championship came there, which was a rare thing as they used to support the GP's mainly.
