What sounds better?

[Top Gear Girl]

After hearing a V8 revving up today, I got me thinking, is there really anything that sounds better?

Well, for a short while a V8 can't be beat.. well, perhaps by a V10 or V12.. who knows.. that SLR makes some sweet sweet noise.
Wouldn't want to listen to it all day though, but then the same goes for Mozart.

Tough call... Not the biggest fan of classical music here...

Anyway: What I like even more is the low-down rumble of a V8. Especially in a tunnel...

A V8, I love the sound my Cadillac's Northstar when I give it a rev

Mozart is wonderful..but a motor can' be ignored

Captain Obvious says: a V8 (but who'd have thunk it on a car forum eh?)

Kinda of a useless thread if you ask me... This is an automotive forum, nobody will vote for mozart (unless someone wants to lie....)

Its like asking on a bmw fans' forum, "do you like bmw or mercedes?"

Sorry, but as much as I love the sound of car engines, I can not for the life in me say that it's better than the works of Mozart.

It's horses for courses though - if you were out on a drive in a lurvely sounding V8 with Mozart in the CD player, would you crank up the stereo to drown out the engine? Likewise, if you're at home you're not going to put a CD of a V8 revving for background music.

I voted for the V8 not to say it's *better* than Mozart's work (no one could say that), but it's probably a sound that I enjoy hearing more. Having said that, at my wedding we naturally had Mozart & Bach playing, not a V8 hitting 6500rpm.

I suppose I'm saying that I don't really see the point of this poll... what would be interesting would be a poll as to the best sounding motor - I4, I6, V6, V8, V10 or V12, but meh, I'm too lazy to set that one up...

If you have said Gustav Mahler instead of Mozart, it would have been a close call. Both give you an adrenaline rush. I think it's a bit different from a Mozart experience.

A full symphony orchestra is the most powerfully moving sound-producing thing on the planet. Some explosions in metal cans just isn't the same thing.

I'm more of a Shoskatovich fan myself. Mozart was a pussy.

Never heard of that (looking for it as we speak), but String Quartet no. 8 is awe-inspiring. That or I'm just wierd.

Not a Classical Music buff, but I do like the genre (check my sig right now).

Alright, alright...so I was wrong I guess there are people that like genuine music rather than "artificial" music...
