What's the best sounding V8 engine in the world?

Also, don't tell me you're falling for those flat plane crank V8...

Best sounding v8 has to be the Hennessey Z/28. Numerous people have called it the best sounding car in the world. That may be a stretch but best v8, yes.

>>
>>15231415

Well, even though OP meant exhaust note, I will play devil's advocate. Engines make a distinct noise. If we're speaking specifically about the sound coming from the engine working, the 426 Wedge is undoubtedly the most guttural and powerful sounding engine in the world.

It's lope is the thing of nightmares.

The new camaro with dual exhaust sounds so nice and the best part is it sounds clean compared to something like a mustang that sounds like it has something in its tailpipe
>>
>>15226883
It's definitely a cammed Hemi or 6 pack but the 302/5.0 is easier and cheaper to work with which basically an equivalent sound .
>>
>>15231323

salty :^)
>>
>>15232601

It is not anywhere near equivalent. The 426 and 440s were significantly lower stress and more gently idling engines. To get anywhere near the noise out of a 302 that a Mopar big block had, you'd have to stroke it and put a massive cam in.

Cammed 426s are unmatched in raw noise. They are insanely loud and aggressive.
>>

>>15232985
Doesn't matter anyways, looks like all 2015-16 Challengers pack 392's, largest is a 6.4L in the scat pack, Hellcat's is a 6.2 but it's supercharged.

GT is the only answer. If you say otherwise it's cos you haven't heard one. I dig the rumble of a big Yank V8, but the noise that Ferrari motor makes is unreal.

Those blown 4.6s sound really mean. My favorite has got to be a 302 with glasspacks tho
