[s-cars] CEO car (Quattro... sort of)

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

Two totally different sounds.  I love my 462 cubic inches of Pontiac in my
Firebird, with 3" duals; but there is something really sweet about the sound
of many small cylinders revving really high like the Ferraris and such.
Maybe I am just so used to the large American V-8s from all of them that I
have had that it is less "exotic" sounding to me.  One that I really loved,
though, was in a movie called Shaker's Run, if you haven't seen it rent it
on Netflix, great car chase scene not sped up on the side of New Zealand
mountains - really simple plot, but that's what you would expect.  There is
one of the old Ford Capris from the 70's fitted with a small block Ford in a
car chase scene near the end of the movie that just sounds sweeeet, however
this is from memory about 15 years old at this point, so I may be
remembering wrong.

Call it blasphemy, but I actually prefer the sound of a high-strung Ford 289
or 427
over the Ferrari V-8, preferably in a GT-40 or Cobra.

Audi content- Audi V-8s sound similar to Fords when fully uncorked (read no
or little muffling)- IOW, fing sweeeet.
