Which sounds better?
#1. A whine of a S/C. Example Ford Lightning or Cobra.
or
#2. Blowoff valve chatter. something like a Evo or Supra TT.

Personally I like the sound of the blowoff valve.

 

SC... nothing like being blown... My cousin's friend Joe has an SC'd S2000... can hear him coming down the street and know when he'll be pulling into the driveway.

 

That is a real real tough one for me, but I think i'd have to go turbo. And F' the blow off valve chatter, that's cool and all but I like the sound of the turbo spool over it anyday.

 

turbo spooling anyday...there was a banks f350 behind me the other day, it sounded like it was taxiing for takeoff

 

Turbo spool or sc whine!

 

good answer

 

A classic American supercar (mid-60s) or the new Mustang or a Z06. Nothing beats the sound of an American V8.

Of couse, even I know that this is subjective.

 

I'd have to say turbo for me.

 

I'd rather go fishing.

 

Neither. Both can have excellent sounds IMO.

 

 

I try my best!

 

 

external wastegates

 

turbo is awesome...though im not a fan of blow off valves... id rather hear it back through the intake.


super charger whine is cool too but depends on the car.

 

Both make me jealous

 

From the personal collection, yes, the stupidcharge I find superior sound wise. Doubt most people know they were just next to a turbo car sound wise under hard acceleration, like a 911tt, but the supercharged can be heard cheap.

turbo whine > those options

 

There is no turbo whine- what were the options?

 

Blow off valve chatter or whine of a S/C

 

 

The video post in this thread pretty much sums up why I like the SC better

I find s/c whine annoying.

 

 

turbo is cool an all

but if any of you ever get the chance to hear a twin screw kenne bell supercharged cobra in real life... good god its so mean sounding its scarry

 

Of the two I will take the SC whine, but I would rather hear a flat plane cranked N/A V8 at 8K+ RPM any day. There is nothing so sensual in the automotive world. I like ths sound of US muscle but it is rather crude compared with the harware from Maranello!

 

I love the sound of a turbo spooling, I had a twin turbo G35 and hell I loved the sound of it moreso than the power (well maybe it was about even) I'll take it over a SC any day.

 

SC FTW!
