I'm doing good, thanks. Not too fond of seeing winter heading our way, but every day you can wake up and get moving is a good day and a gift. How's it for you up where you are? Getting snow yet?

Good thanks. Glad things are going good for you as well. Winter is definitely around the corner and I hope it's not going to be as cold as last year. Leave for Phoenix early January for a bit so I hope I'll be away for the coldest part. No snow yet, but I'm sure it's can't be far.

Take care,

Terry

So many sound good.. BMW M cars, Mercedes AMG, Ferrari, Lambo, even good ole American V8's.

But my personal favorite is the Carrera GT. No question.

A friend had a Jet black one that he sold not too long ago. Believe me if I say these videos make absolutely NO JUSTICE to the real sound. It's shattering. It's printed in my brain forever.

I probably agree that the CGT is #1, but the F50 isn't far behind, if at all...

This has a nice note also! I guess it's a dubbed vid by the comments.

Ford's done a super job with there current crop of Mustang V8's. Very nice note from a factory exhaust. The two model Corvettes I mentioned are deeply imbedded within my brain. At the time, there was just nothing like that sound in a stock machine. It exuded power and because of what was under the hood, they could back up that sound with action.

yes, i don't know what it is exactly either but the sound of the american v8....theirs nothing like it

^^I'm the exact opposite. I don't really care for the sound of a V8 (except the F430). I like the sound of engines in multiples of three (I3, V6, V12). They just sound more sophisticated and expensive to me....
