With Ferrari has the coolest sound????

Here's a pic of one of them.....1959 250 Testa Rossa Fantuzzi Spyder. This is from Pebble. I'll do my best to get the others and post. Hopefully this will work.........?

Get the victory by design DVD - plug it into your home cinema system and crank up the volume. I defy anyone to not LOVE the sound of the 312PB being given a good seeing-to.

 

The Victory by Design DVD is full of great sounding cars... but the one that surprised me the most was the Dino 246... I guess I was expecting a lighter-weight sound from the lighter-weight car... I was wowed!

The sounds were so much more distinct on the DVD than on SPEED that I was often surprised by the sound out of the cars. I need to watch it again (when I'm a little less surprised each time) to be able to judge which one I actually like the best.

Hmmm...

 

Willis, I was there too for the 250LM and 250GTO "street race" demo in front of FoS. They sounded cool, but way too loud for me...

The Ferrari that makes music to my ears is the Daytona. Brian Lopriore drives his past my house at least once per week, and he purposely revs it up as he passes. It always puts a smile on my face.

 

The 365GTC/4 sounds the best with its side draft Webers along with the 400GT which also has the side draft Webers. I don't know why, but the side draft carbs sound better than the down draft ones for some resaon. Does anyone know why ? No fuel injection car is even in the ballpark !

 

Without getting too exotic here the carbed boxers do sound great. However I have always liked the sound of a carbed 308 together with transfer gear whine when downshifting.

 

I dont know either...i have heard both from in/outside and the Daytona clearly sounds better IMO.

 

While both the Daytona and the C4 sound absolutely terrific, the C4 has a more sonorous growl from the longer intake path.

 

While I'd much rather have a Daytona than a C4, the C4 does sound much better.

 

I absolutely love the sound of a 355 with tubi

 

Im scrolling through this to see if anyone mentioned it...and Dan360 is right on...the 312PB. WOW! I've also only heard it on Victory By Design, and can only imagine what it'd be like in real life. 312PB gets my vote.

As for road cars, there are many that sound great.

333SP......you just have to hear one of these in person, it's awesome, mean, and scary sounding. At Gingerman I video'd lots of Ferraris with stock and modified exhaust, and a 355 with tubi has a very mean sound. But it's the 333SP that just amazes me...it actually has some type of "mufflers" on it, but the growl combined with the whining sounds have to be experienced to be appreciated.

As for a TR with Tubi...not bad, but still to quiet for me. Soon I'll have my own exhaust on my TR....4 straight through bullet mufflers and then 4 indivual pipes out the back. All stainless of course. I can hardly wait to hear how it will sound.

 

No 330GTO, but the sound is wonderful, nonetheless.
That's 330GTC (4 litre '66-'68).
Incidentally, 365GTC (4.4 litre '68-'70) upped the ante in '68. It looks like a 330GTC, but sans 275GTS-inspired side vents, as matte black scoops between hood and windshield are used.

 

Try several

I'm almost certain...........it's a GTO. Only 4 exist. I've attached a link to verify. However, the article says only 3 exist. This information in the article is incorrect regarding the # existing.

Serial numbers for 330 GTOs (Source: Bluemel/Pourret - Ferrari 250 GTO)

3673
3765
4561

After that, there were 4 cars designated 330 LMB, but similar lines to GTO

4381
4453
4619
4725

 

Yeah, me too, love to see one in person. The best I've heard in real life was a BB512LM @ Lime Rock last summer. After that the GTOs sound positively *polite*.

 

F50GT
333SP
'95 F355 (open or Challenge/tubi)
Testarosa with as little muffling as possible

 

Frank says the carb cars sound best, may be true, but I love the sound of my 512 BBi with full Tubi. It sounds like an orchestra of different sounds.

 

Yes. I worked for/with John for approx. 8 years and am now have my own company. However, in partnership, own real estate together. We remain v/good friends as well. Are you familiar with him via autos, personally? Just curious.

 

My mistake. It was my understanding two were in the seattle/oregon area. One in california; one in Europe. I must be wrong. Thanks for the info.
