In general, except for a couple of purpose-designed sports cars like the Miata, my favorite engine sound is basically this....a LACK of sound.



That's one of my favorite features on the Lexus LS460.....quiet.

I think the Mustang V-8 with some pipes sounds fantastic. One of my favorites. Love the distinct Porsche sound too with the Flat 6.

Stock for stock? I really love the Mercedes AMG 55 and 63 series. I can't say no to the growl. It's not too loud nor is it too quiet either.
