Here's your trophy 💩

I think the sound clip they used (787B) was not as good as others I've seen/heard online. I am in agreement that the 787B is one of, if not the best, sounding exhaust notes ever.

@@user-rs8on5pd7d the GTR R35 sounds good too, in general Nissan V6's sound good and Lamborghin V10 and V12's

Unpopular opinion: BMW with straight cut gears is arguably one of thee best sounding cars

@@user-rs8on5pd7d True. It was a bit disappointing in the video but its definitely on the top

@@somerandomguy6116 as in the bmw m3 gtr? yeah, definently one of my favorites if not my favorite of all time. hard to beat the lexus though

He doesn’t know anything about car sounds, he was surprised that a 4-cylinder is a 4-cylinder.

​@@jedediahsmart569 exactly! He thought a mustang was a dam chain saw 🤓

@@jedediahsmart569 i mean i was confused few times, mainly by the first one, which was the mustang, did not sound like a mustang honestly for me, cause i dont sit infront of the car to listen to it. Do you?

@@NicoLas-xy3ew you're clearly not a car person then, most people that are actually in the car scene know what different cars, especially icon cars what they sound like.

@@jedediahsmart569 I do not think there is such people that would remember every single car for the sound of it. You're clearly not a car person, because you deny other people can be, its hilarious. you can cope any way you want, but calling me a non car person is not the way brother. you can enjoy any car, but if you're sitting at the front of a V8 car, you will not really tell the difference, because the sound comes from the exhaust. Nice one goober, now go enjoy your malding session.

You should Hear the Huayra R even in videos it sounds phenomenal

​@@NightmareCrow5Dizem que é incrivelmente e absurdamente ensurdecedor o som.

It's incredible would love to hear one in person. si·nus·oi·dal /ˌsīnəˈsoidl/ adjective adjective: sinusoidal 1. having the form of a sine curve. "a sinusoidal waveform"

BMW F10 ///M5 BEST SOUNDING EVER

the exhaust has soooo much to do with this as well. its almost everything on this sound tbh.

Yes but for what was supposed to be a fast shifting and technologically advanced car it really didn’t perform as it should’ve

@@THESLlCK We aren’t talking about performance here. We’re talking about experience. Still, 3.8 seconds to 60 was hardly slow, even by today standards. And flat out it would do 200 mph. Also not slow.

@@Soh90 for well over half a million dollars in the mid 2000s it was slow and expensive. And if we are talking about experience, it’s heavy and not particularly responsive. It frankly wasn’t a good car. Only the engine note was notable.

@@THESLlCK ??? It wasn't slow, nor was it really expensive for what it is. It isn't heavy either. It weighs 50kg more than the Ferrari 458 it competed against. The 458 does 0-60 in 3.4 seconds, the LFA in 3.6 seconds. The 458 does a lap of the Nurburgring in 7:33, the LFA in 7:38. Then Lexus came out with the Lexus LFA Nurburgring package, which smashed the 458 with a time of 7:14.64, making it the 7th fastest road-legal production car on that track at the time. But even the base LFA was a proper fast car. Loads of groups tested them on different tracks, and it performed great everywhere. It set the fastest wet lap at the Top Gear test track, the third fastest lap at the US Top Gear test track and the fastest lap time at Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours despite freezing temperatures. Auto Zeitung tested it against the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG at Contidrom test track, which is also where Continental tests tire performance. They had a similar top speed, but the LFA had a shorter brake distance and smashed the Benz by 2 seconds with a 1:35.66 lap time. Auto Zeitung concluded "The LFA dominates the AMG Mercedes SLS in the manner of a precise formula racer". They praised the LFA's race car-like response and handling. Jay Leno reviewed the LFA and was very impressed with it, stating that it was one of the greatest supercars ever built. He said there might be other cars out there that could individually do things better than the LFA, but no other car does everything so extremely well. I really have no idea where you are getting your opinions from. By all accounts, reports, tests and experiences, the LFA was a very fast road-legal production car.

@@THESLlCK It’s was $375,000, not half a million. And now they’re worth over $1,000,000……. Guess the car spoke for itself. I’m not some LFA zealot, but thinking that the only value of a car is in its raw performance is deeply flawed and shows that you are an average consumer, not an enthusiast.

It’s a Toyota, he could say those exact same words about any of their other engines and be right

@@inherentlyflawed He also noticed it was highly tuned, which that hill climb monster is.

That 20V is something very special though.

That VW VR6 was so distinguishable I knew that

​@@ConnorHammondnot a hill climb car, exclusively a downhill racer

The LFA at high revs kind of sounds like my R6 lol, the scream is almost identical

​@AhmeddR6 oh shit, you're right.

I know right. For me it was the way that the engine turned on was an immediate sign

7.3L N/A AMG derived V12, right? Incredible.

@@MattH-wg7ou indeed

It really does. I prefer the ford v8 but it does sound sweet. Much better than the Ferrari.

That Pagani had legit F1 sound - and from the good years of F1 too!

Pagani was the best one. I was expecting an LFA to show up, but did they ever make a manual cause I was thrown off by those *loong* shifts

But if they included the Huayra R it will beat everything

The Pagani definitely has one, if not, THE most dramatic starting noises I’ve ever heard. It’s almost like it coughs to life. But the LFA….. it’s tough. But my money is still on the LFA. The Pagani sounds nasty and angry. The Lexus on the other hand, that thing is singing. That is the sound of a truly happy car. It also has the AE86 effect where it sounds like it’s overachieving.

LFA sounds amazing but the 787B is king, without question to me.

LONG LIVE THE ROTARY

Why did he say that it was not a good car ?

People have different opinions but the recording they listened to was probably one of the worst 787b audio clips I have ever heard. @@Epicurion.

Yeah, they really picked the worst clips here. It also feels incredibly scripted and not genuine. The I5 clip of the Audi was also the worst clip they could have used. Like, Audi S1 Group B? Hello??

I got to see one at a show in Cincinnati. It sounds amazing but it's not my favorite. I'm partial to deeper tones tho.

@@nateg08 yeah same here!

I saw one sitting in a random Lexus dealership 😂 a red one

Didn't have an LFA flyby or rev, either. Did both dirty

Right! They had the wrong Soundclips all along! And where the heck is the Lambo in this video???

I think editing made an error. You can see how the video was cut. Toyota did win a handful of Lemans, even though their cars are so boring. Maybe he meant it's the first Japanese car to ever win Le Mans.

It was the first. Then, Toyota won 2 times win the TS050 and 3 times with the GR010

He did say it WAS the only car to ever win Le Mans. Which could be a weird way of saying it was the first ;)

787B is the only Japanese car that won Le Mans with a Rotary engine.

Whoever wrote the script probably played too much GT4 on the PS2, because it was worded like that in the game, mainly because TS050 wasn't a thing back in the days.

"look at sounds" we got a comedian in the chat.

@@nasonguy It is metaphorical.

Especially with a pro. One of my favorite Real Mechanic Stuff videos so far

Hyundai s coupe turbo 🎉 check one out boys

​@@logandehaven8537😊

Glad they had him back.

Isn’t this just a repeat of the original episode?

Good lord no. I won’t be watching the next one if they have him back again.

⁠@@otacon5648why lmao

@@otacon5648Y u mad

They did do a previous episode with the same topi c

@@MaxRamos8 yeah, but just one episode, didn’t say: “I would have sworn they never worked together”. That was also a good one. I hope they make him a regular.

Agree , In my opinion the Lp640 sounds the bests - yes better than the SV even, I find it more pure somehow. an ear-melting sound.

@@LOLA6ifyableyour absolutely right, just a stunning pure analog sound. The aventador couldn’t match it stock but damn the later gallardo v10s were stunning to the ears as well

@@12pagani Yes the Avantador sounds amazing ! despite it being more modren but still lacks the pure sound of the LP640. And yes The gllardo V10 is also Amazing , the Huracan is again not as clean being more modren. The sound of modren cars is much more muted because of regulations , but maybe this is where electric cars can help , by being the majority , maybe they lossen up on Fuel powered cars (if pertol or bio of some sort)

@@LOLA6ifyableSV sounds better like the trumpets from heaven

Best sound of the Murci is the starter motor (not that the V12 sounds anything short of spectacular, just that the starter motor gives me chills). Still think the LFA is the best sounding road-legal car ever made. The Zonda R is damn close, though.

Engine Simulator is open source? I thought AngeTheGreat was gonna try to sell it once he finished it.

@@ads1035yup it’s open source

@@ads1035 The community edition is live on his github right now. Hasn't had any updates in last 5 months or so though.

@@ads1035last i checked he said he was going to keep it open so that everyone could have access to it!

@@ads1035 Engine Simulator 3D will be sold. The version out now is open source.

Right… gt350’s v8 is my second favorite, first LFA

Same with the rs3, they barely let it rev out

Audio guy cackling in the back office wearing an LS fest shirt.

Def the worst sounding clips of the voodoo I’ve heard, never would have guessed it was a GT350 based off the clips

Came here to say this. They did it dirty in the V8 rankings too.

I know, right?! That was easily the worst exhaust kit I've heard on the RS3/TT RS

Because the flyby was a 4cyl s3 not an rs3 lol

wasnt even a 5 cyl lol they used a s3 on the flyby

@@DuMamesGarage 😭

I know right. The Rs3 usually sounds like a baby lambo

Learn the story and you'll understand. Its a legend of a car for what it is but its performance and competion isn't what made it what it was.

@@eliasdanks4352 Blud this whole vid is about sound Lmfao

​@@KeatoilOh, it sounds like a pitched up fart 👉

@@notSasori talked like someone who has never heard it in real life. The clip they used here is the worst sounding clip of 787b that i have ever seen.

I saw the LFA for the first time at the 2011 Nürburgring 24H in it's GT3 Version ran by Gazoo Racing. Dude...those two cars where sounding even more mental than the street Version. That Engine is a Marvel of Engineering and I am in love with it ever since. Unfortunately they had to muffle it the year after because it was too loud lol.

That LFA sound clip was way better recorded than some of the others though

@@PalpatinesPlumber true, some of those recordings were trash

That Pagani is #1 for me 😊

LFA is not the Best Sounding Buddy Sorry.. It's Sounds good, but I think it's Overrated...ever heard a Lamborghini v12 or Ferrari V12 😅

Strongly agree.

The British V12s have a unique sound that I like a lot. Another British car maker, TVR, make great sounding engines. All the way from their I6 to their V12, all their engines sound like they want to kill you. They have such a raw sound.

Yup fulvia is such a good car

Ford also made a V4... though the brand most known for using it is not Ford, but Saab x) but yeah, V4's got a distinct sound. but when it comes to italians... to bad they didn't add in a Busso based Alfa in this clip... good holley molley a tuned Busso V6 sounds good.

The V8 in an Alfa Romeo Montreal is also quite nice.

Didn't know the zonda r had a clk gtr engine, what a throwback! The clk gtr is one of those forgotten legends today unfortunately

The Zonda R was the first time I heard a car that blew my mind. I was very young to be fair

The samples they used here for the 787B were awful, totally did not do it justice. There is a drive by YT vid with over 4mill views and it sounds better than the Zonda IMO.

I didn't even recognize the RS3 in the clip because it is all pops and bangs and no real 5 cylinder sound anymore

@@Alexx120493that’s what I’m saying. They should’ve used a Volvo

@@Alexx120493 I didn't recognize the RS3 as an owner. Sounds nothing like what I'm driving :(

They should troll next one with hayabusa turbo

@@jkliao6486the sound from the inside is often different, and a lot of brands pump engine noises into the interior through the speakers

It's definitely the sound of a 5 cylinder ... but with stock exhaust, soft limiter to 3000rpm and other limitations ... a very bad sample video !

The Audi RS3 soundtrack was not a RS3. It was definitely a 4 cylinder which means the sound was from a S3. 5 cylinders sound like mini V10's

You can actually see around 10:35 that the flyby was definitely from an S3 The idle WAS an RS3, which is part of why the idle sounded good and deep while the flyby felt more tinny and lackluster.

sounds 4 cylinder when he goes wot

No kidding. Definitely was a poor representation of 5 pots. Should have been a tuned up rs3 or TTRS (maybe the twr 850 racecar)

And perfectly describes the unreliability of an audi.

​@@Towel1elmaoooo

wtf ... thats why they race in gt ? are you joking ?@@Towel1e

It’s also got 8 exhausts with 4 cylinders!

I really can't imagine driving a car, no matter how fast, without the sound. It just makes it so good!!

Dune is a boring movie.

Yeah that makes sense. I was baffled bc I had a jetta with an 07k and a borla and it sounded way better in the flyby than that.

I believe they went for the worst RS3 sound clip available on youtube. That engine sounds so much better than that.

​@@facusan2339Its S3 fly-by not rs3...

​@@facusan2339 here is the oryginal source /1L1xq-R503w?si=ZZK0sb3NvDdQ8toh

Yeah defo cause in my head i thought it sounded like the 4 banger VAG engine

That's not up to them. They get the clips from UKposts and social media

@@user-so9cy7ec8z I get that this isn't old school Top Gear where they get their hands on about every car. My point is that this is very impartial based on the recordings used.

Neither of those clips were a GT350. The sound is iconic. I've owned one for two years so I know exactly what it sounds like. The second clip sounds more similar to a coyote. First clip might not even be a V8. They did this car dirty, easily one of the best sounding V8s ever. EDIT: I actually just watched the source clips, and they may be the worst sound clips of any car ever. The first one clip I'm not even convinced it's the 350 revving (and there were better examples in this source too!). The second one has the worst audio quality I have ever seen on an exhaust video, and the guy doesn't even make it past 4k RPM! Someone had an agenda sourcing these audio clips lmao.

its even better with mark mangini in it

I've said it before but it's interesting listening to people talk about things they are both knowledgeable in and passionate about.

But, are you actually? Everyone claims job titles and then you realize they work at Home Depot.

@@ChainsawChristmas yeah I've worked in recording, composition, acoustics, and mixing/mastering

It's even more fun to talk about sound. Noise is background or unwanted sounds. All noises are sounds, but not all sounds are noises. Seems like a SOUND engineer might know that.

they did the 787b dirty for sure.

it was lighter but don't forget they were lumped with hundreds of kilos of ballast as a punishment for being old-school Group C cars..

@@cj09beirathey provided shitty sound clips

He totally bought into the ISMAs propaganda to get the japanese out of racing.

I was going to say the same. Wrong fly by video. Clearly. 😂

I def noticed!

@apophisstr6719 nice profile picture! where's it from?

Im sorry lost one. Carrerra GT did it first, and better. I hope I can guide you to the right path
