2015 Jaguar F-Type R. Can be had all day in the mid $40k's. Im kinda surprised they havent picked one for one of these in a challenge.
-
I have a few more ideas for you:
The best car never to be featured on a C/D cover
What cars did C/D get the most wrong ?
The best 70s custom van. Period correct or restro mod categories
The best car that could be on the cover of Car Craft circa 1990-94?
The best corvettes ready for racing
The best cheap super car
If Smokey and the Bandit were remade today (and for some reason we couldn’t get Coors on the east coast again), what contemporary car would the Bandit drive in 2023?
If you were to open a niche used car dealer, what your theme be and which would be your first 3 cars on the lot? -
Next car challenge. The car with most beautiful headlight/The car with the most beautiful taillight.
-
Fox Body 5.0 H.O. With Flowmaster Original 40s and an H-Pipe
-
I drove an RS4 Cab from Turo through the Blue Ridge Mountains a while back. Excellent excellent sound, plus manual!
-
Agree on the C63 but all the the M156 installed cars sing an astonishing aria.
-
Pearly is right - the v12 in the jag is a great sounding engine when it's well maintained and tuned
-
Clicked on this expecting a W204 C63... Not disappointed.
-
The best sounding car I ever filmed without budget limit was Apollo. INSANE!
-
I would've thought that someone would've picked a Hemi ScatPack of some kind for less than $50K....would have to be more reliable and tuneable than anything else on this list.
-
Best sounding sub $50k car would probably be a last generation Maserati Quattroporte in my opinion. They sound so warm and dark at the same time!
From the cars you picked my choice would be the RS4! -
So glad to see you guys back! You should do what car you'd like to be made into a Presidential Limousine if you were elected.
-
Best sounding car is a SAAB 2 stroke. Unbelievable noise for so little movement.
-
Can’t believe there weren’t any V10s! What about the S85 in the E60/63 M5 and M6???
-
I've heard that Alcantara is intended for racing applications and only to be used with gloves. With like-to-like surface contact, it minimizes slip during extreme gripping conditions.
-
Love all of these and no surprise that V-8's are well represented. Comparing apples to green beans I love the sound of a Yamaha R1 with aftermarket exhaust. The thing is to get a great sounding car you need to spend so much $$ but a new R1 is like $18,000
-
A 2008 E63 Amg with Renntech headers & Xpipe. The owner paid $40k😅
-
1986 Chevy Cavalier z24 sounded amazing for the 1980's
-
I'm 2 months late, but there's only one answer and it's a Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale. You might not want to own one, but they're incredible to listen to
-
Grey Market 1986 Porsche 930. I owned one and it still is to date the best sounding car I have ever heard
