Here how about a 4.6 mustang

I have always though Ford does the best with the distinct sounds of the Mustangs throughout the years.

They sound like they are hauling ass until you are actually in them....then it's just a cute car that makes a lot of noise.

But in the spirit of this poll, the Mustang does win IMO.

nothing beats the OLD Gen 1 Small block Chevy for sound...
Anyway everyone knows sound dosen't win races!!!!!

the mustangs stock are very quiet my friend has a shelby gt and you can barely hear it and from the inside you cant even hear it at all really he just put a flowmaster exhaust on it and the difference you cant even really notice.

I respectfully disagree.

The old Pontiac V8s were the prettiest sounding.

Something about the intake arrangement or something

they just had the most quintessential V8 sound.

RB Chrysler Hemis are pretty close. The Mouse is right there behind the RB.

Who cares how"pretty" they sound... cars are not supposed to sound "pretty"

Motor Trend agreed with you. They compared the SRT8 and GT500 for their July 2008 issue. They preferred the SRT8 even though the GT500 beat it in every performance category except braking, 'cause the GT500 didn't have an independent rear suspension and they didn't like the motor's whine.
