It is well know that Nick Mason (Pink Floyd) is an avid automobile collector. He has a book that is available in England with a CD of the best engine note soundtracks called Into The Red (for redline, of course.) It is available at the link above (in British pound).
Of note: Luv the book cover. BTW the Ferrari 250 GTO is considered the best engine note, no controversy here.
What is less commonly know, however is the sound of the Matra 12-cylinder CanAm cars of the 1970s. They are reportedly among the loudest engines of all time. These French cars were all sound and fury signifying nothing however and proved very unreliable.
I’ll try to capture some soundtracks for you on this blog soon. In the meantime please enjoy any BoyRacer SuperStreet car with a coffee can (street for real big muffler) and give thanks that these youngsters are merely making and not taking speed.
