What car do you guys think has the best start up sound? (When you go into your garage and select 'Change Car')
 
Mazda 787B Race Car
Ford GT40
 
For street car's my C6 Corvettes and Lamborghini Murcielagos are pretty good.
For race car's the 787B has a really nice one,goes "whump,whump,whump" like a helicopter.
 
787B (only at start up!), Bentley Speed 8.
 
The GT by Citröen Concept sounds really cool.
 
787's is great in game but in the real world its serious gnar...sounds like a big ass V-8 2 stroke outboard motor...surging and cackling like a motor that hates to idle- even at 4000 rpm.
For a real treat check out the Youtube of Jonnie Herbert driving it before this years LeMans, he does a full lap and the startup and pit entry are awesome

I just like it because it sounds like a UFO.
 
The Subaru WRX Rally Car Prototype is nice.
Others:
Bluebird Rally Car
Miura
Countach
Viper Team Oreca #51/#91
787B
Jaguar E-Type

Most disappointing one: Mclaren F1
 
The '66 Cobra 427 gets my vote... Makes me smile every time.
 
Jaguar XJ13
Bugatti Veyron
2010 Camaro SS
Corvette C6 ZR1
Alfa Romeo 8C
Lotus Esprit V8
 
G8R_MaD3

How would you ever know what a UFO sounds like ?

Agreed, i hate driving it cuz it's annoying
But sound isn't everything
 
all old low powered cars as they barely start up.
but I do like the GT40
 
The RE Amemiya RX-7 widebody race car (can't remember what it's called, but the yellow one).

Why is it the best? It make me giggle uncontrollably to listen to it.
 
Z06 en ZR1 vette's for sure:drool:
 
I love the Lancer 1600 Rally Car because it just sounds so broken, but the 787B takes some beating. I heard a few recently that gave me goosebumps but I can't remember for the life of me which cars they were, one may have been the TVR V8S but I may be mistaken, I just know I've been driving one a lot lately.
 
The veyron is quite cool but i love the a4 toyring car coz it always sounds like a lawnmower XD
 
Citroen GT Concept and Veyron. :drool:

Speaking of which, I found the video on Youtube of Herbert driving the 787B:

Kind of sent chills down my spine when I heard that beast (man, the sound!!) going around the track again. Such a sweet tribute to a badass car that won 20 years ago. 👍
 
that Mazda Rx7 gt300 race car
dodge acr
sauber c9
there load of others aswell but i dont remember the name of them!
 
with how good a 4 rotor engine sounds
mazda should try six that would sound brutal
 
Despite being an electric motor, I quite like the GT by Citroen Concept. Sounds a lot like an Alien Ship.
 
Definitely the 787B.
 
Can't believe nobody said the Cizeta V16T... it sounds like hell itself :dopey:
