Music or Motor

[SweetWagon]

Hey all, just thought it would be interesting to see what people rather listen to whilst driving. Do you like your music or rather listen to a purring V8? Personally I would be more entertained listening to a V8 anyday.

[Stretchomatic]

I prefer my music because it masks the rattles and groans and awful exhaust drone...though the engine note is good at high revs...

[angelo.vs]

Most of the time I like to hear the motor/exhaust. Probably why Ive never bothered to spend more than $800 on a cd player and speakers.

[Phoenix21]

both but i'd probly rarther my motor / exhaust

[jd hot stuff]

The sound of my 253 when its at 4000rpm

[1vngal]

I'm gonna go with music on this one. I agree with big_stretch, The music drowns out all vibrations from the dodgy exhaust, and the noises that come from the motor, that I'm pretty sure aren't meant to be there.

[Charg'd]

im goin with the engine sounds, gotta love the whine from a charger

[1991_Vn2nV]

It depends when im driving. Around town, I listen to music. When I drove home and have to drive through the hills, I listen to the engine.

[greenfoam]

I own a 304 so I don't really need to mention my answer

[burnz]

what a thread i like
yeah the motor pumping iron sounds great

[Misaprop]

the sound of the V8 through extractors and twin high flow cats!!! sounds awesome!

but when cruising i can't really hear it so I pump the music

[YMY-88U]

i like the sound of my motor, but to old 304s are a class above everyone when it comes to sound

[crazyspoon05]

I do a lot of driving so music for me, being stuck in peak hour or driving on a highway for hours on end you need music you like IMO..

[Patrio7]

i wont vote on that, a v8 never gets old but no matter how sweet the car sounds you have to have some tunes.

[GLD-086]

Exhaust over music, any day. IMO

Although the previous owner spent $4000 on the Pioneer sound system, I very rarely listen to it, as I can't concerntrate, with loud music.

[Goon]

I'd have to say both

[bjvan2003]

music is slightly better but is the purr of a v8 classed as music?

[greenfoam]

I wouldn't say it's music but when you hear a nice Holden 8 light up the tires 5 streets away from your house and you get a rush of a adrenaline and run outside to hear the rest of the burnout that's a pretty powerfull sound. Apart from a girl mid climax no other sound can do that for a guy and certainly no song (unless it's got samples of either of those two sounds in it can it do that )

[brohawk]

i said music but u need a good mix for long trips u need something a bit different from the buuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrr of the engine, but other days it its nice to hear her open up

[immortality]

there ain't nothing like a brocky modified 308 at full noise, can't hear the tunes when it's above 3000rpm with a bootfull of right pedal, gonna get even better when i have the twin flowmasters going, shame that the government here has just bought in new static noise emmisions test of 95dB when a one year old commie with standard exhuast was measured at 95.5dB, gotta love that 8 cylinder rumble

edit: i hear ya on that girl thing though
