Recently went to the woodward dream cruise in Detriot. Basically its the most environmentally unfriendly car event ever. All it is is uncatted muscle cars spewing black smoke everywhere, in rush-hour like traffic, with lots of old people. Its alot more fun then it sounds though.
Anyways it brought up a interesting point, both me and my friend are pretty similar when it comes to what we like out of a cars sound under full throttle, but he actually hates the way alot of V8s sound at idle dispite driving a 5.0 mustang himself. He doesn't like the whole off-beat lumping idle, he likes a rather honda civic like "thud thud thud thud" Hes says a off-beat engine sounds like its broken, i say hes a idiot.
heres what he thinks sounds broken and what i say sounds brilliant

this is probably more of what he was thinking, ill state that i like the engine sound when revved just find, but i find the idle very boring

he mentioned the subaru, again, fine sounding under load, but the idle is a drain on my senses, no character at all
