Which ferrari's sound like ferrari's?

IMO...



348 = OK
360 = nice hollow metallic shreik
355 w/ tubi = perfection

 

Any of the V12 Carbed cars
308 GT4 or 308 GTB/S carbed at 7000rpms!!!!

 

here is a link with various Ferrari exhaust video clips

IMO the sounds are rich and varied.

Classic v12s like a comp Daytona at full bore at Goodwood this summer had an extraordinary sound.

My 308 with comp cams, big carbs and a Tubi sounds great, particularly when it is shooting flames on the overrun!

A "modern" Ferrari at full gun is a "wail".

The 333SP at full gun is a higher pitched wail.

Any F1 car, in person sounds, to me, like "tortured metal" -- a scream. It doesn't come across on the TV, you have to see it live.

 

I agree that vintage cars have more of a rumbling grunt and modern cars have more wail. They are both appealing.

Of course, how can you not like the wail? The F50 and 355 epitomize it, but people say the 430 is going to pack quite an aural punch.

 

*bows down to your greatness*

 

Though I love the sound of the EC "straight pipe" crew's 360s (mine included), I have to agree that I think the 355 w/ a Tubi is definitely the most Ferrari sounding and is really a truly gorgeous sound.

If you saw Bad Boys II, I'm pretty sure the audio they used of the 575 revving its engine when it first appears was actually recorded from a 355 (...it didn't have that V12 growl, but instead the classic Ferrari V8 wail...)

I think the Daytona or the 275GTB/$ has the best FERRARI sound!

 

haha, what an appropriate typo

 

If you have heard a 250 Testa Rossa, or any of the older racing cars you would not be so impressed with the wail of the more modern Ferrari's. Most of them sound like "phttttttttt" eminating from the exhaust. Certainly the tubi adds a little bit of reality to the exhaust note. Any road car from the Daytona back has such a pleasant sounding note compared to what a Ferrari sounds like today. Formula 1, well that is different, and not comparable to a road car.

...what he said!!! As well as a 355/Tubi.

 

355 with tubi or challenge. That my friend is what a Ferrari should sound like.

 

MY 355 WITH HIGH -FLO CATS /TUBI EXHAUST/TUBI HEADERS
THIS IS THE BEST SOUND (TOTALLY FORMULA ONE)

MOST PEOPLE AGREE THAT THIS IS THE TRUEST FERRARI SOUND ACHIEVED.

 

355 With Tubi.
F40 with Tubi.
Testarossa with straight pipes.

i did a side by comparison of 355 tubi vs 360 tubi....360 diffinitely sounded better according to several of my car nut friends and I...

 

I have heard a 1972 365 GTC/4, and it sounds awesome! Nothing modern can compare. (except an Enzo, which sounds completely different).

Rent the movie "Gumball Rally" - you will hear the incredible 365 Daytona Spider, and you will be forever changed!

 

Anything with a well tuned Ferrari engine sounds like a Ferrari and sounds great. I went to the Times Square run yesterday, all the cars sounded wonderful. Very useful in scaring away the New York Pigeons.

275 GTB 2-cam / 6 carb

 

NICE!!

 

By definitition, all Ferraris sound like Ferraris. I'm certain a 500 Mondial sounds quite different from a 360, but both 'sound like a Ferrari should'

 

I attended the Chrysler Speed Fest in San Diego this weekend.

There was a yellow pontoon fendered TestaRossa in one of the races.

It was being closely followed by a 4 cylindered car. Lotus 23 I think.
I could not hear the TR because of the "bark" of the Lotus.
I kept hoping for some separation between the cars so I could enjoy the wail.
BTW I was about 100 yards down the main straight. All the cars were in full song just about ready to grab 4 th gear. The Ferrari sound is wonderfull but it is not as loud as a lot of cars.
Of course it is tough to beat the sound of a McLaren Can AM car
