Then, the Eagle Speedster

Why?


Balz, I don't think that sound is worth the styling of the car.
It also reminds me of something you mentioned when we were doing the lap challenges on Forza - it sounds like an angry bee (a quote you said about the Mazda Furai).
I'm surprised a 510 wasn't on your list. Or just a huge list of old EDM.

Speaking of which, where's the 510?

Oh and here's the inpsiration for this topic.
Powerball winner says first purchase is $30,000 1992 NSX.


Oh the 510! I would definitely have a pair of these, the coupe and the wagon. Funky little cars. Maybe cram a late model Nissan straight six under the hood.



As for EDM, I didnt want to bore but you are right. I would want the following.

Lotus Carlton

Peugeot 205 GTi


Lancia Delta Intregrale



Just to name a few.

Someone fix that wiener mobile with a cowprint, only then, will it be fit for a Gordy, lol.

Andy, I am trying to find a video link to a TopGear film where they posed the question, "Purely based on sound, what cars would you use to recreate the famous chase scene from Bullitt"

They sampled V12's, V10's V8's and inline 6's. The Speedster fell in the last category. I am telling you, that car sounds fucking awesome. Also remember you're listening over your crappy laptop speakers.

Click on part 2 over on the right side of the video panel, and start at 1:27 to watch the first part of the segment, then jump to part four and start at 6:30. The Speedster is showcased at the beginning of part 5.

That V8 Jag has such a dirty sound. I love it.
The straight 6 Eagle does sound pretty awesome though. Finally got to hear it with quality headphones/PC sound controller.
